1) The map controls change was publicised on the blog on the 19th (at the time of the change): http://blog.openstreetmap.org/2013/07/19/new-map-control/
2) The Communications Working Group is currently looking for help - why not join them: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2013-July/002185.html 3) There is a list of Admins. Although don't forget though that OSM has no "Executive Team" or paid employees. If you want something changing then code it yourself and put a pull request in to the Admins. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admins 4) And I disagree with you. It is possible to follow the dev channels and not flood the developers with comments. You simply have to pick your fights. If something is only a small issue for you, or you can understand the greater benefit to others, then let it be. If however you spot a significant and major issues then by all means please alert the developers to this in a constructive manner (suggesting fixes, or better still providing code). Rob p.s. I do generally agree that Comms is a weakness with OSM. I can spend way too long reading the mailing lists + blogs + etc.. :-(
