Actually, I've been amazed with how quickly and transparently the project has been moving, all things considered. Compared to the level of transparency we've gotten used to with ACS Classic, we're way ahead of the game. Compared to the Mozilla project (an admittedly much, much more massive project), we're moving along at a good clip.
When I look at the "progress" page in file-storage (which has been updated very regularly), I see many, many modules which nobody has yet signed up to port. It seems to me that the most efficient way to move this project forward is to get people signed up as leads on modules and have them starting to look at the code NOW while we're waiting for core components to be completed. We don't need an enhanced system to do that.
