So are there any plans to update the menu with newer versions of
distros?

Who is maintaining this list? Is it a lot of effort? I'd really like
to see at least the new LTS version of Ubuntu added at one point.

Hi Julius,

Distro additions can be rolled yourself without too much fuss. Just create your own config. I've not heard anything from the owner in awhile but we could look at branching though I don't know if we have source for the website portion which is where the real magic happens as the bootloader is just ipxe with a different useragent. I put together a horribly plain version of the website for my own needs built from scratch using Django on Python but I'm a sysadmin not a programmer so it's not pretty.

Best,
Josh

The site runs on Google App Engine, the code is available here:

I've tried writing a replacement, but once again the curse of the
sysadmin (too much ambition, not enough time/willpower) strikes again.
