You're pointing to the wrong issue. The issue is not that "people don't contribute to Comproj activities because they're discussed on a dedicated list / IRC channel". The issue is that "Comproj is mostly dead because the foundation staff doesn't provide any guidance to volunteer groups such as Comproj". Comproj has been very successful for short-term, specific tasks where their help was requested on the list (the PR cleanup inventory for instance).
I mostly agree with you here Guillom but would like to be more specific again: the problem is not that ComProj is incapable of doing jobs without WMF staff guidance, it's that ComProj simply doesn't have the work to begin with. If only WMF staff would pass things down, give the information required and pass on responsibility then ComProj has the people to get it done (while obviously staff involvement would make the process better, my point is that ComProj could probably be useful with minimal such input).
A Communication Projects Group needs projects.
