Was this group named 'comp.theory.infosystems'?
No, it seems to be 'comp.infosystems' like I remembered.
While you are right in desiring some more activity from the researchers,
there is no need to prohibit practitioners from posing practical questions.
Just look at the very varied postings in groups such as
'comp.databases'.
If there is at least some traffic in this group, people can get
reminded of its existence.
