I notice, for example, that the enwiki based ombudsman, Sam Korn, has made just one edit this month. I think for a role like this, it is necessary to be more active than that.
I wouldn't necessarily define "active" by edits in this role, but I definitely agree with you that I haven't seen much activity anywhere from the members...
I agree, edits aren't really relevant. In fact, I think people that aren't very active on the projects would make better ombudsmen since they are less likely to be involved and can be more independent. What's most important is whether or not they are active on the commission.
Perhaps the WMF should take over this role? It is their privacy policy being enforced. When the commission was founded the WMF was very small and it would have been very difficult for them to do the job, but it is much bigger now so might be able to manage.
