you quoted the answer to that one ;-)
ubuntu is frozen this means that no new packages can be considered for
inclusion and all updates need a bug fix attached to them as part of the
update. So at the moment there are no new packages being submitted.
If you have a bug fix contact the maintainer and if that's accepted it
will be included in the usual manner.
I'm not sure how it will work in the future but I am sure the ubuntu
developers will accept third party sources for inclusion in the universe
build process but they might want to check the licence and security of
packages in universe before they are allowed in.
I think multiverse is for the 'everything else' that can't be including
into the 'everything else' universe but everything has been quiet on
that front for a while.
