I can only think that they are waiting for the dust to settle from the next patch, which will significantly change how mods are installed and used, to develop something along those lines. I hope...
Here is quote from MM site Q&A section:
"60. I need instructions as to how you can create a race in the game from those downloaded from other sites or made by myself. I'm talking about those that have the AI scripts. When I enter the game and I'm creating a new game I'm not able to locate any of the races I've downloaded into their own folders in the Pictures/Races subdirectories.
When you download a custom race style from a web site, you need to create a directory for it in the SE4 \ Pictures \ Races directory. When you start SE4, go to New Game, then create a new empire. In the Empire Setup Window, on the General Details tab, there is a "Race Portrait \ Ship Style" selection. Pick the new race portrait you downloaded. A little farther down on the window, there is an item called "Use Race Minister Style". Set this option on so that it reads "Using style from race". This empire will now use all of the features of this custom race style.
If you're wondering how you get the race added to your Quickstart window, you need to open the file "Settings.txt" in the Data directory. In this file there are items titled "Quick Start Style #" which you can set to the name of the directory for the race style. In the first patch, we have extended this to allow as many races as you wish. "
Hope this helps.
