Yes, part of what I was trying to say is why not get that handful of folks together and go to Japan, to the source. Logistics? Ego? Funding? Perhaps a trip is in the cards...
This was just one workshop that happened to be at Oxford. Probably it occurred the other way around to you imagine - "let's host a workshop here [at Oxford], what shall be the topic?"
Article says there is another one planned in Japan that will no doubt be attended by a (proper, less those put off!) subset of those at Oxford.
Money and time. I'm sure you could straight-up pay some of the qualified mathematicians to figure it out, but you'd need to make it worth their while. Offer to buy out their salary for a couple of years, plus hire them a few postdocs and grad students to further their own projects, and I'm sure a few would be happy to help. But it would cost the better part of $1M for each guy.
There was an earlier workshop in Japan. From wiki:
"A workshop on IUT was held at RIMS [Japan] in March 2015 and in Beijing in July 2015. A CMI workshop on IUT theory of Mochizuki was held in December 2015 in Oxford, IUT-Oxford (2015). A workshop on IUT will be held in July 2016 at RIMS."
