I get the impression that no-one really feels ownership or responsibility for XDG. When GNOME or KDE developers chime in, they tend to drive the discussion, but I don't know who, if anyone, focuses on improving the Freedesktop wiki and specifications.

I think this is a pity, and I hope someone can tell me that I'm wrong. :-)

Looking through the mailing list thread linked from that spec, it looks like Federico Mena Quintero was one of the main people involved in writing it. His GitHub profile lists an email address: https://github.com/federicomenaquintero .
