Development for ImageJ affects thousands of users and is not a small matter.
A funded project is starting for the development of some identified
areas in need.
Most details are here:

About half a dozen developers have attempted that.
There are lots of issues involved, it's not a trivial matter of "upgrading".

The best contribution is on image processing algorithms.
In particular algorithms with broad applications such as:

* image segmentation in 2D/3D/4D
* particle counting
* particle tracking

Hundreds of labs around the world would benefit from good, robust,
reliable, fast algorithm implementations of the above in all their flavors.
