This is not good. Perhaps setting up arbitration committees or something
similar in those projects will help. Jimbo would need to give that type of
thing the authority its needs to function.
Proposals from within the various language communities would be nice
too---there's no specific reason every Wikipedia has to function
identically to the en: one, which is in a lot of ways a sort of special
case.
Is the problem that there are no proposals for what to do, or no
authority to implement the proposals, or does the "outside world" just
not know what's going on in a lot of Wikipedias because of language
barriers? I confess I have very little idea what's going on in
Wikipedias other than en, de, and fr, and I suspect that's true of a lot
of people---even ja, a very large and active one, is pretty much a black
box to me as a non-Japanese-speaker, and doubly so for many others.
