While Phil committed it the progress on Space Lords (and next, Future Flash) could very much be considered 'outside' submissions, and they're the two most significant pieces of Arcade related progress in recent builds...
There's just less arcade stuff in general because what's left isn't always a good starting point for a lot of people. The other parts of the project, especially misc devices represent a really good way for people to learn the ropes. Full awareness that the project is about those things these days really is vital as far as getting people involved is concerned.
