Not sure what you are looking for... the speech audio is still being collected, it will be compiled into an updated acoustic model - no time frame.
Do you need access to all the submissions in the past year? That can be done, but you will have to normalize and ensure they are clean yourself. A tedious job, even with scripts to speed things up.
Remember, all the audio submissions and code are GPLv3. You can fork the project if you want - that is the open source way.
