that would require GNOME developers attending with the same goal in mind. 
unfortunately, they have demonstrated repeatedly during gnome-shell 
devleopment that they have no intention to cooperate more. if anything, they 
have demonstrated that they wish to work less with others (and not just KDE, 
btw). no amount of development sprints can force such people into a more 
sensible way of working, they have to want to do so on their own.

it's a sad state of affairs, and very frustrating indeed, but at this point 
the only answer i can think of is to find others to work with (as we did in 
Canonical with status notifiers) and to discourage people from using GNOME3, 
e.g. by providing something better.
