I *am* new around here and I'm trying to get up to speed with the state
of play.  I would find it easier to comprehend the suggestions being
discussed if there was slightly less background noise.

A community supporting a mature standard or product need not offer new
things regularly as long as it can support the inquiries of new members.

I think it would be unusual to churn out new specs constantly just to
keep new community members interested.  This is not an environment
that's comparable to an online shop.
