you can't expect anyone to take it seriously when nothing is yet clear. they should at least release a wallet/client for it before exchanges even consider adding it and releasing statements.
Not to sound pessimistic, if all these issues still remain unresolved as at this time when the intended fork is just about 10 days away, I think there is need for serious upgrading by the entire team behind this upgrade. In the case of BCH, there were already enough of this on ground as at the time. What is being discussed had been changed from what will happen to bitcoin in the case of the fork, rather discussion was centering on the issue of 'how do I claim my BCH successfully without compromising my BTC?'.
With all this and even without enough coverage and discussion, we can only hope that the same faith that happened to to Bitcoin Unlimited awaits BCG at this time but to avoid it, something more timely needs to be done.
well, some of these "issues" are work in progress. it is not like they are ignoring them. some of them like the PoW change already has the Pull Request open, the code is ready and somewhat tested. the other issue that may be overlooked is that when forking something like this you have to "extensively" test it. it is not enough to do some tests and rush the fork to meet the deadline.
i also agree, the biggest problem of BTG is the lack of communication. for example the dev only has the slack and twitter. someone who is not on either of these platforms will be left out.
they need to start a proper announcement on bitcointalk, a reddit sub and then start answering questions.
that is why it is considered free money or airdrop anyways
specially with the big premine that it has
