Switching to needs work, the code on Github is not very far along at all.

jhedstrom has recently done a lot of work improving on grasmash's work found on the GitHub repo.

The CSV aspects of this require a new serialization, which is a broader problem from that which is specifically solved by Views Data Export. As such, there is a new project here: https://www.drupal.org/project/csv_serialization. This complements VDE quite well.

jhedstrom has expressed a desire to participate in maintaining the Drupal 8 version and subsequently move this code out of the github repo. Subsequently, I would be willing to support as well. Getting the code moved is a huge priority so we can get an alpha release and I believe the recent work jhedstrom did may have stabilized this.

Please let me know your thoughts on next steps

I have filed #2788229: Offering to maintain Views Data Export for Drupal 8. Proper protocol recommends waiting 2 weeks, but I don't think we're going to hear from Steven Jones. If somebody following that wants to review and mark it RTBC, that would be the next step I think.
