I was looking at it more from the point of WordPress was php's
*flagship* (for lack of a better word) site and code base that made it
really popular (or so I'm told).

I was wondering if we have anyone out there working on it or something
else like it to make ColdFusion/Railo more popular to the masses.

if you mean written in CF then no I am not aware of any, but then MangoBlog
is so easy to deploy do you really need that, it only takes minutes to
deploy really? Any old CF host should do the job. After all if you are a
total non coding noob, then you wouldn't be looking for CF blog software or
even know what it is, there are more than enough solutions out there for
people like that.
And besides wordpress.com is totally closed, you cannot get at the code and
customise it, you have a small selection of plugins to choose form and that
is it. If you want more then you have to install and run your own copy of
wordpress anyway.

It also depends what you want out of your blog.

If you code in CFML only and want the ability to customise and write
plugins, then MangoBlog or BlogCFC are your best choices.
If you don't want to get your hands dirty  and just want an out of box blog
with more plugins than you can wave a stick at,or you know PHP as well  then
it is hard to suggest anytying other than Wordpress for its shear wealth of
plugins. Although there are many other good options if you have specific
feature requireemnt
