I'm expecting top comments will wind up being a bit negative because of how long it takes to modify a living language without breaking the web (spec side). But for ES6, the main thing in need right now is C++ programmers able to hack on VMs to actually implement all the features. If you are one and care about this, by all means see where you can help in V8/SM. If you're a company that cares but only has dollars, and not programmers/time, consider hiring consultants to work on landing the features you are most interested in. Just because a spec is fleshed out by committee over time doesn't mean the patches magically appear with it. (e.g. C++11)
