I really hope others are attune to this issue.  I know quite a few are
rather busy at this time, especially considering the work being put
into the release of 1.33  ... but how might this issue be pushed along?

... It's often an up hill battle, when you're the one developer among
10 or so, who advocates Boost usage. (This is really another argument
for following through with such a thing.  It usually is one developer
who sneaks Boost into an organization, and it would be really helpful
if Boost as a whole could help plant that seed).
