You miss out (3) TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE TRACKER THAT EXISTS.
There is actually a tracker:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi
Which has been linked to from the internet-drafts page for quite some time
now. It's also been mentioned in IETF plenaries and in numerous other
forums. I certainly knew about it well before becoming a WG chair.
For example finding out even a simple
matter such as the status of an RFC is not possible by using the Web
site unless you happen to know special information such as the fact that
this is in periodically issued RFCs with 00 numbers.
If you mean "where in the RFC-Editor queue is my document", that
information is available on the RFC-Editor's web site, and has been for
quite some time now.
If you mean "what is the standards status of RFCxxxx; what updates or
obsoletes it, etc", that information is in the rfc-index.txt file, and has
been for as long as I can remember.
I will agree with you that the organization of www.ietf.org leaves
something to be desired. But the information is available.
