There are plans to upgrade it to 2.12 but it hasn't happened yet. I
don't understand all of the technical issues but one of the problems
was discussed on a recent thread, which is that someone has to check
all the snippets to make sure they compile under 2.12. I might be
doing some of this soon but haven't started in earnest.

If you need some assistance let me know, I have some time available as
I'm not working right now (yep, I'm one of the bazillions of unemployed).

Thanks for the offer, Chip. I've just finished a preliminary run
through all of the snippets. I downloaded the tarball of the entire
repo and ran them through the convert-ly script, then did a looping
script that ran lilypond on each updated snippet using 2.12.2 and saved
the terminal output for each in a text file.
The results were pretty good, really. About 95% of the snippets
compiled and look the same as they did in 2.10. Two snippets didn't
compile at all, but I've already taken care of one of them
(adding-octaves-automatically) because I've had to fix that one on some
of my own files before. The convert-ly script took the \octaves command
as if it were an octave check instead of a user-defined macro. I've
changed the \octaves command in the original LSR code to \makeOctaves,
which will survive the convert-ly update intact.
If you'd like to have a go with a few, try fixing the
"changing-the-font-to-smallcaps", which doesn't even work in 2.10 in the
snippet currently in LSR. The font doesn't change at all.
Another one that doesn't work in 2.12 is
"polymetric-section--synchronizing..."
It has a bunch of \InnerStaffGroup commands that must be obsolete
because they're causing errors. Changing these to \StaffGroup makes it
compile, but then the staffgroup loses the bracket and it doesn't look
right. If you'd like to fiddle with that code until it works properly
in 2.12 that'd be great. (the authors of the snippet are given as John
Mandereau, Reinhold Kainhofer, but these guys usually have bigger fish
to fry than snippets in the LSR :) )
Others:
"setting-control-points-of-slur-manually" compiles but the slur runs
right through some of the notes. This doesn't happen in 2.10 but it
does in 2.12.
"broken-crescendo-hairpin"--compiles but the hairpin doesn't break anymore
"positioning-segno-and-coda-without-line-break"--compiles but objects
are colliding
There are probably more but I have to do some of my official work now. :)
Best,
Jon
