As Thomas said, teTeX is 100% in TeXLive. So why do we need a tetex
developer group?
TeXLive and teTeX are the same thing. The main reason teTeX is
discontinued is that it is too much work to maintain the texmf tree
and that different people are working on the same thing.
As far as I can tell:
-- tetex-src is 100% in TeXLive
-- tetex-texmf is mostly a subset of TeXLive but I suspect the latter to
be much bigger (I may be wrong; haven't downloaded or used ever);
-- things like texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf are not in TeX Live and do
not seem to have an equivalent; documentation for TeXLive looks much more
generic (which is quite understandable).
Can someone be a bit more precise?
One of things I appreciated in tetex was the texmf tree not being complete
but a being a very reasonable default.
