Unfortunately you come across to me in the worst possible manner, not happy with the status quo and only complaining.
ASF works in a manner of; a. Do-acracy. Don't expect anyone else but you to make the changes you want to see. b. Small reversible steps. Suggesting (and/or executing) very big changes are likely to be rejected due to risks. c. Previous merit weighs in heavily in new proposals. If I say X, it will be skipped over a lot than if JimJag says X, as people will assume that he has put more thought into it, since previous changes coming from him has turned out very well. That doesn't mean that relative newcomers have no say, or impact. There are plenty of recent ASFers, that has made huge impact on both ASF and people. That normally shows up in Board nominations... So instead of writing mails about what other people should do, how about acting on the above advice, Propose, Gather support, Execute. Easy? Perhaps not, that depends on what your goals are...
