They would have if they still had major problems with the usability of the 
tool. It probably just so happens that all the backers are used to the 
interface, however bad it might be, and don't feel the need to sponsor such a 
work.

I find myself in that category. Provided there is a one-page-diff support, 
Gerrit works very well for me and I don't find it clumsy at all. That's not to 
say I don't want it improved -- I do -- but I don't feel the pressing need to 
for someone to work on it.
