Work through the relevant WikiProjects more? There's a certain element of disdain for them -- "I don't want to talk to WikiProject X because they're all fanboys/POV pushers/people violating OWN/etc." -- that needs to be done away with; but they're an existing infrastructure for interacting with editors that work primarily in a particular subject area without getting involved in the Wikipedia-wide bureaucracy.
