Thanks for bringing this idea up @stevapple, and for everyone providing feedback on this thread.
Over the last few months, the Core Team has been reorganizing the project by creating a number of dedicated workgroups to oversee different areas of the project. That work isn’t done, and the Core Team still sees a lot of areas that would immediately benefit from having this kind of focused leadership, including platform support and portability, productivity tools, toolchain distribution, tools for building and distributing Swift programs, and source editing.
The package ecosystem is another growth area, with new tools and services coming online that would benefit from clear guidance towards building a safe and secured ecosystem.
Over the last few weeks, the core team has been discussing how to best address the needs expressed in this thread in light of these motivations. The exact details are yet to be determined, but it is likely to include the formation of a new workgroup with the charter to lead in across the platform support, productivity tools, and packages ecosystem concerns. As the Core Team continues to work out the organizational structure details, we encourage the community to continue and discuss these ideas. We also invite community members who would like to be part of such initiative to reach out directly to the core team to express such interest.

@Douglas_Gregor Well, it's almost Xmas time so maybe time to start making some Xmas wish lists... I think a solution to the aforementioned LLVM gap would make a nice Xmas present
