Hi Tom,
FYI, the primary sources tool is not dead: besides Freebase, it will also cater for other datasets.
The StrepHit team will take care of it in the next few months, as per one of the project goals [1]. The code repository is owned by Google, and the StrepHit team will collaborate with the maintainers via the standard pull request/review/merge process.
Cheers,
Marco

Are there plans for next steps or is this the end of the project as far as
the two of you go?
I'm going to assume that the lack of answer to this question over the last four months, the lack of updates on the project, and the fact no one is even bothering to respond to issues https://github.com/google/primarysources/issues means that this project is dead and abandoned. That's pretty sad. For an internship, it sounds like a cool project and a decent result. As an actual serious attempt to make productive use of the Freebase data, it's a weak, half-hearted effort by Google.
