There's certainly no steering committee that you could join; decisions about home teaching are made by the Priesthood Department under the direction of the general authorities who preside over that department. If you'd like to make a formal suggestion, you can use the
Feedback link on the LDS.org home page
But in any case you are welcome to discuss the issue here on LDSTech Forum. This is not a place where decisions are made, but it is a helpful resource where people with questions, ideas, experience, and/or suggestions can share their thoughts..
There's no single forum for home teaching; there have been significant discussions in the
MLS Support, Help, and Feedback;
Leader and Clerk Resources; and
Mobile Applications forums (and several other forums as well). Feel free to comment on any of the existing topics, or if you want to start a new discussion, choose an appropriate forum section.

There are two ways to "streamline" home teaching; one is to update the current HT/VT tools (which as I explained above we have little input and no control over) and the other is to learn new ways to improve our use of the current tools. Community discussions are one way that we can learn from each other and improve our effectiveness in this area.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
