I'm with Anton Ertl here. If you have a clear idea what has to be done,
formulate it and send in a proposal. (But I'm as guilty as you
regards other matters ...).

Why must it be done?  To please you?  If the committee is satisfied with
the status quo nothing need be done.  And that's what you're seeing.
