I did check, but I'm not eligible.
There is noone to say you can't (well, not at the moment, given the very
slim amount of work around), I doubt I could justify the time or (more
importantly) the costs, even of dialing in on a cheap resellers service,
as they do mount up.
I have responded to people who complain that something isn't done, to
explain constraints and invite them to do something themselves. That
doesn't always work - they don't always do anything - but by and large
they do accept a need to put up or shut up.
There is a working group currently considering nomcom procedures. Such
comments should be posted there.

PS: I have found that telling people "don't dare complain about X" is
not a particularly effective argument.

It's a burdensome time commitment, no doubt. On the other hand, don't
dare complain about "U.S. centric" anything if you are not willing to be
part of the process to effect change.
