If it bugs you that much, write one.  This is open source, volunteer
driven work.  If you see something that you think needs doing, do it.
THe list you're sending to is for people interested in clamav, and
telling them that they must also write and maintain a utility that you
want isn't exactly fair.  Look into webmin and other similar things if
you like, or start from scratch.  I am happy with vim, but whatever
works for you.
