This fork is created by Darcy Shen(sadhen), the maintainer of GNU TeXmacs. IIUC, Shen feels GNU TeXmacs is more scientist oriented, so he want Mogan to be programmer oriented[*]. For details, we'd better to ask Shen directly. I guess Shen is unhappy with the slow development progress of texmacs, he created a fork to add the features he wanted to add to texmacs.
