There used to be a list of pending work in a bug tracker somewhere,
but I'm not sure it is kept up to date. I'm also not sure there is a
formal committee.

For what little it is worth, Mozilla has pre-informed the list of
Mozilla's intention to submit MPL 2.0. There are also some requests
from Python to formalize some of their license changes, and from us to
move a variety of licenses to deprecated. These are discussed to some
extent in the archives:

MPL Alpha 3 with full description/justification as required by
submission rules:

MPL Beta 2 followup:

The Python requests went to license-discuss instead of license-review:
