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?

This is what we have been doing, and are doing, and our
simple, clear, and consistent document format facilitates
this work. Once in a while we get lost wasting our cycles
on non-productive things like proposals to adopt new more
complex document formats, but still most of our cycles are
spent on constructive and productive protocol work.
