Climate scientists agree that tackling methane emissions is the fastest way to slow near-term climate change.

It sounds like all of this is voluntary, so the slow pace is not surprising.
Let’s make polluters pay with fines that amount to carbon price for leaked methane + a 15% penalty to pay for the monitoring.
