Simon, I think you have misinterpreted the lack of reaction. When I relayed your call for leadership on reddit, there was a huge response: http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/nph9l/records_stalled_again_leadership_needed/ It is quite clear from this that many people, likely a solid majority of everyone active in the Haskell community, considers records to be among the top priorities of things that need to be improved in GHC. The lack of response, I believe, is just a lack of anyone who can cut through all the noise and come up with some practical way to move forward in one of the many possible directions.
