Like you say, pspp is currently a volunteer effort. One way in which you could get the statistical procedures that you need, would be to hire a programmer to implement them for you. If you find others who share your requirements, then you could share the cost also.

Dear fellows,
Sincerely, I am a bit disappointed with PSPP. After some struggle, I
finally succeeded to make it install and work. Its features, however,
are miles of distance of the inspirational SPSS. Although PSPP has a
similar interface and a similar way to select variables, only the most
basic statistics is already implemented, like ANOVA and t test. It not
only lacks more difficult implementations such as the nice discriminant
analysis that SPSS has, but also simple non-parametric tests are still
missing.
I am aware it is free and a voluntary project, so I congratulate the
initiative and I am not blaming the developers. I hope success for this
necessary project. On the other hand, much simpler statistical packages
have a minimal number of resources greater than PSPP. A lot of
additional effort is still necessary to rise PSPP to the level it can be
called a SPSS alternative.
I am not a developer, nor a profound statistics expert, thus I am in a
quest to find an statistics package for my work under linux. I only know
R, which seems very hard to use. Do you have idea of others?
Paulo.
