Everyone here is a volunteer and give freely of their own time to support users like yourself. I¹m not sure that you will get much help by demanding that works gets done. Also, the ARM based Linux community went through dramatic changes (devicetree, display subsystem, etc) since the V3.2 kernel and we are expecting things to settle down after V3.12. There are users working on the issues your mentioned and I expect that you will see many of these issues resolved in the next several weeks. I just think you stepped into this at the wrong time. BTW, you are always welcome to fix anything that is broken since everyone has access to the same tools and source code; but you won¹t be able to do that with commercial software.
