Don't be too downhearted. I am certainly looking forward to using shallow clones; but by their very nature they are going to be used on big established projects (otherwise why would one need a shallow clone?), so until those projects upgrade their servers the news will be quiet Also; it's probably going to be casual developers that find shallow clones useful, as the main developers will clone the whole repository. This might also mean that they aren't going to be around on the git mailing list. I certainly wouldn't say that the shallow clone work is not being appreciated. It's just being appreciated quietly.
