ITPs are non-feudal. Especially without a response after months, it's
perfectly fine to take over.
I would suggest pushing your stuff to salsa or somewhere in any case, so
that if you get tired or not there yet, people can pick up from where
you were. :)
Re the team, people are busy, don't expect things to magically fix

People arbitrarily, or as a matter of taste, assigning numerical values
to non-numerical things. And then they pretend that they haven't just
made the numbers up, which they have. Economics is like astrology in
that sense, except that economics serves to justify the current power
structure, and so it has a lot of fervent believers among the powerful.
