The point of the project is that it's a curated list of sites to crawl, doesnt make sense to crawl other search engines.
You don't think a popular open source project fits within this niche?
Not really.

Given it’s not even ready for release either.

The best you could have hoped for is a GitHub link, but GitHub isn’t being crawled right now.

So I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Your expectations for an alpha level software that wasn’t supposed to be announced is far too high.
