Indeed... I looked at the same thing 2-3 weeks ago and also wondered 
about status, workflow etc... I'm in no position to help with the styles 
(I'm no cartographer/designer/whatever) so I dropped it.

This was brought up several weeks ago on the mailing list by Mapbox 
folks when they tried to learn the very same things (look for "wishlist" 
threads from October). What is the current status and their plans for 
working on styling - I don't know.

side...
