The wider question is how to get moving on new hash algorithms. That's a bit tricky.
Normally we'd look to see NIST or the NESSIE guys lead a competition. But NESSIE just finished a comp, and may not have the appetite for another.
NESSIE is now called Ecrypt and _does_ do something on Hash functions, see http://www.impan.gov.pl/BC/05Hash.html
It's not a call for a new hash function, I admit this, but I guess it's too early for something like this anyway at the moment.
