The werner icking music archive recently merged itself into IMSLP (see
http://icking-music-archive.org/IMSLP/IMSLP.php.) Doing the same for
mutopia would be difficult since they each have different goals. For
instance IMSLP only accepts pdfs (except for recordings) and doesn't
allow source files (sibelius, finale, lilypond, etc.). Mutopia is a
lilypond only repository and having the source is valuable (though I
have heard of people on IMSLP embedding the source as an attachment
withing the PDF which isn't a bad solution). When mutopia scores end
up on IMSLP they usually have a link back to mutopia anyway (though
the scores are often out of date with mutopia's version).

Mutopia has had some problems with a lack of time lately and I'm not
sure the status at this point. I know there was some progress made and
the source for the page is on github now:
https://github.com/chrissawer/The-Mutopia-Project.
