You are of course within your right to leave feedback anywhere you want, or use the mod contact page to contact the mods at any time, which is its whole purpose. The flipside of this is other players have the right to disagree, and I have been wanting to for months now and haven't for fear of causing more drama and work for the mods to have to deal with. Your viewpoints aren't the only ones that matter nor the only ones that are valid. Your suggestions for improvement are often unworkable or condescending or both, or boil down to 'do the thing you already did but more in-line with what I want'.
How much more communication do you need than timely posts listing progress that the mods have made? Do you want monthly updates on the backlog of work? Bi-weekly? I could actually get behind that, but I think expecting it is silly when the much simpler solution is to understand the mods are working on their backlog because that's literally all they've been doing since they took over, in between answering questions, providing regular events and posting the calendar and AC regularly -- which is far more than the previous team of mods ever did. You were there, and you have to remember the months we legitimately didn't have AC because the mods were completely AWOL, and the calendar wasn't updated since August until the changeover happened.
I don't blame the old mods; they had their own reasons. But I think drawing comparisons between the two teams is insulting. I also think saying 'we can call for more volunteers at any time' is even more insulting when these mods are working their asses off both to do a gigantic game overhaul and deal with you shitting on them every step of the way.
