Keeping up with the mailig list you can tell that the community seems focused on getting out a parity release of the flex framework in its entirety. With the monumental task completed I am sure there are many people, based on the quantity of users, that will be spending time and continuing to improve on the flex charting.
If you have specific requests and bugs it is always good to enter those into jira. If you have code to contribute that is even better.
