Clearly you have tenacity and a desire to see change.  If I were you I'd 
join the SCMSig:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/SCMSig (some of us still 
hang out in #fedora-scm)

Schedule and request a meeting, host that meeting and have your voice be 
heard.  I, for one, would attend whatever meeting you schedule and many 
others in the sig would as well.  Take a deep breath, send the email and 
dive right in.  (I'm being totally serious here, I'll be disappointed if 
I don't get a meeting request soon :-P
