Why wouldn't they just submit code to the main XBMC github repo, since OUYA won't require any special code. Well, I think there's one snippet of code needed for "app sorting" reasons, or something like that, but that's actually going into the main XBMC repo as well. All three bullet points he mentions are things XBMC for Android will have. Maybe he means an OUYA specific skin?
But hey, I'm not a developer, so I'm not sure what all has been discussed between our Android devs and OUYA. It's also not uncommon for companies to do this, if only to make their own UI branding (skin, etc). It's the great thing about open source. I'm just not sure I understand the bullet points given, since that's work that is going to be done already, but that's just an organizational issue. Code can be ported to and from both their fork and our master, so everything can still benefit everyone.

It's already a pull request to be added to mainline. We have to make sure it doesn't break any other platforms that XBMC runs on, etc. An OUYA fork wouldn't need to worry about breaking other platforms. Generally speaking, there could also be code clean up, removing extra debugging that was enabled for testing, making sure it's in sync with the current code in mainline, and more.
Koying, who's been the main guy working on libstagefright, is currently traveling with his family. So you have to factor in personal life.
It could happen as soon as this next merge window in July, or it could take longer. That's why we avoid giving ETAs, because even we can't be sure :)
