Because there is no 'lobby' which lists open games. (if there are any...)
A dirty implementation is already done and will be included with the next release. (2.0.7)

A total overhaul of the network code is planned for the 2.1.0 branch.

Actually the dirty implementation __will__ be included with the next release (the only required change from 2.0.6 is adding a configuration directive to contain the lobby's server address).

Yes, and this will probably result in the above dirty implementation being incompatible with what will once become the new (and less dirty) implementation.

Fixed, and wasn't there some changes about the game state send/receive? :)

If you mean when the game is started (i.e. not lobbying anymore) then, no there have been no such changes as far as I'm aware of.
