For my point of view, I have no time to hack stardict yet. For the freedict* package, they are maintain by QA team currently. I can take them up but I never use those dictionaries. It is not a good way for a maintainer to maintain sometime he never use and difficulty to keep the package quality. I would said, package freedict* is indeed in my TODO list, but not yet in top priority. I still wish some appropriate person will take up that job before I take action.
