I'd say it is desirable, various people are working on various bits of
it, and hopefully some of them will add there $0.02. I would agree
doing everything on that page is completely unrealistic. I'd encourage
you to pick a sub area you'd be interested in and see if someone wants
to mentor that. Personally I'd really like to see someone take up
making intermediate representations more machine streamable. There's
already machinary to print most data, but its not in a machine readable
form.
