1. The vast, vast majority of problems attributed to 
collaboration software are actually the fault of a lack of 
communication skills. This situation is no different. Changing 
the software will not fix any problems in organization or 
curation. Most the features you call useless are not useless in 
of themselves, but are "useless" because people don't use them.

99% of all collaboration could be done in excel if you have good 
communication skills.

2. We don't have the manpower to have a completely curated 
system. Any energy spent curating would be better spent fixing 
bugs.

3. It serves its purpose well in that very bad bugs that are 
reported with detail are fixed quickly.

4. Many people follow the bug feed on the forum, so a bug is 
almost always looked at at least once. Most bugs are usually 
considered not very high in priority, and so it's up to the 
volunteers to come in and fix them. Core team members are focused 
on regressions, new issues, and really bad bugs. Most of them 
don't have time for enhancements.

5. If you see an issue that doesn't have enough detail to be 
fixed, then close it.

6. No one is stopping you from putting together a better idea. I 
look forward to your DIP on the subject.
