It would be nice if these WG closure announcements had a bit more detail, as

group conclude its chartered items? Did they run out of steam? Was there no
agreement on direction? Is the problem no longer relevant? Is the work being
done elsewhere?

Yes, it would be useful. However, getting agreement on the
(political, and other) correctness of such text might take more time
and energy. I'm not saying adding something shouldn't be done, just
that this also is a tradeoff.
I never participated in the WG, but having a 5 minute look at the
archives gave an indication of the problem (steam had run out a long
time ago).
