As always in free software someone needs to stand up and do the
work. If there's someone who has the time, capabilities, interest
and isn't crazy then he shouldn't have much trouble to get accepted as
new maintainer of the spec.

The spec is not the bible. It's just a list of generally agreed on
names. There's no need to make all that fuss about it. Discussions
like this one or the one whether a headset is more like headphones or
the other way round are completely uninteresting and
irrelevant. JFDI -- don't waste the time for talking.

Please also note that I am not a UI developer, only indirectly, where
my stuff needs to covered in the UI. I am really not the one who
you should be discussing all this. I just wanted three icons in the spec
and then got pissed off by Rodney's way to handle that. Just read the
archives.
