Your question was "Why hasn't anyone stepped up and started the process of applying for other extensions?". Perhaps you don't know the new TLD program looming, with applications being accepted in early 2012. Would it be wise to start an application in the "old" process and take nearly 3 years to get approved, or start it during the new program when it'll take only 1 year to get approved and have a much higher chance of being approved?

That's why no one has "stepped up" - they're waiting until next year if there even will be any.
