This sounds like an project that would interest Lupines.

Pretty impressive line-up of potential contributors but I'm a little 
surprised that Wolfe appears not to be one of them.  Perhaps the editors 
thought he had already done his Dying Earth "thing?"

George R.R. Martin discussed this project on his "Not-a-Blog" (
grrm.livejournal.com), and a few people responded to the news with questions
about putting Wolfe in the anthology, but I don't believe Martin ever
responded. I gather Wolfe and Martin know each other, and I'm really
surprised if no one thought of asking Wolfe. Perhaps he declined an
invitation?

Gardner Dozois told me Gene Wolfe turned down the
invitation to contribute to the Dying Earth
anthology--no reason given. A pity, remembering how
brilliant Wolfe's contribution was to the Clark Ashton
Smith tribute volume some years back.
