How about people volunteer to help the effort or how about we fund the
RFC Editor to work with the XML2RFC people?
Simply having a working group does NOT produce running code. Let's
not have committees unless we have an answer to this question.

The simple answer is that the IETF should be developing
neither a document creation tool nor a tracking tool,
nor funding the creation or such tools,
nor setting up committees to develop specifications for such tools.
There are perfectly good document creation and tracking tools available.
When are we going to get back to work relevant to the IETF?
RFC 3935 is effectively a charter for the IETF as a whole.
It states
The mission of the IETF is to produce high quality, relevant
technical and engineering documents that influence the way people
design, use, and manage the Internet in such a way as to make the
Internet work better. These documents include protocol standards,
best current practices, and informational documents of various kinds.
I believe that some people are mis-interpreting this statement.
I propose adding as explicit non-goals
* the developing of new document creation tools
* the developing of new version tracking tools
* the development of new document archival processes
