Since GPLv2 is a copyrighted work offered with no licence that would allow someone else to "clean it up", they'd actually have to write a new licence that offers the same things. There are other copyleft licences, but when people start to write their own, they usually introduce their own favourite features, leading to incompatibilities with the GPL and other licences.
