He most definitely is cooking something. Seen contributions from him to chocolate-quake: https://github.com/Henrique194/chocolate-quake/pull/60

As well as bug reports: https://github.com/Henrique194/chocolate-quake/issues/57

I personally would love to get some help with my chocolate Doom 3 BFG fork, specially with pesky OpenGL issues: https://github.com/klaussilveira/chocolate-doom3-bfg
