Probably none of the above.

The IETF already provides pretty good tools. They could always be better, of course, but they almost certainly aren't essential.

The issue with providing management assistance is to focus on managing the work. That's an organizational orientation, not just a tracking thing. It's about getting clarity of the work to be done and of getting folks to do the work of contributing, writing, reviewing, and debating in a timely manner, and achieving forward progress in a timely manner.

Few working groups have enough detail to juggle to make this something that hinges on the tools.
