W3C is essentially a collection of individuals. Most of them are
hard-pressed to keep up with W3C work as well as jobs within their own
companies. Few of them have time to monitor lists like this one. Don't
assume that because you make a lot of noise, that it is audible to many
people who spend their time on W3C work. There are proper channels for
providing feeback to W3C, use them, and don't assume that shouting in
the wind is good enough.
Having said that, you are trying to change the direction of a tanker
when at least half the crew who are steering it are firmly convinced it
is going in the right direction, and is within sight of land; so even if
you get people to hear you, you have a challenge ahead to convince them.
And they aren't morons, either.
If however you suspect that the tanker is actually on a smuggling run,
just contacting the crew and asking them not to do it may not be right
approach.
It may be necessary to get the authorities to impound the ship and stop
it unloading once it reaches port. Or if you suspect the authorities
are in league with the crew, it may be necessary to rally enough
concerned individuals in small boats to obstruct the harbour...
