The problem is the traffic. I don't have two hours a day to follow every issue that comes up.
What we need is to encourage the habbit of bringing up an issue on the mailing list, then taking the detailed conversation to meta.wikipedia.org or an appropriate talk page in the pedia. That way, people's inboxs don't have to explode whenever there's a hot topic.
With that in mind, I have started a short list of "current issues" on Meta's main page. I also plan to shunt off all the old stuff (establishing the principles of NPOV, 24, etc) to archive pages.
I have compiled what I could find on math markup here: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_Markup
