Hi Frank, As everyone probably knows already I have been working on Ubuntu as well as a couple of the variants for the last couple of months. Kinda hard to start in the middle of something, but hey, that's life. I'll try to answer this as best I can.
As far as the Human icon set goes, I see little that we can change over night. Yes, we need to keep filling the pieces but I am not sure if our goal was to create a complete icon theme but rather to create a sub-set usable to brand the Ubuntu dekstop. Defining the style and a full color palette for Human would be the thing we could do to enable other community members to contribute.
