Looking to simplify the user interface for group admins

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

My users are finding the admin interface quite cumbersome. For example to approve members it takes 5 or 6 clicks, including some settings that are not very intuitive for an average user (click next to the user, go to "choose an operation" VBO dropdown, select "modify membership status", click "execute", etc etc) Whereas my users are perhaps used to adding/removing people via something like facebook with one click add/remove.

So i'm just wondering if others have run into this issue before and any suggestions for solutions and simplifications of the user interface?

I found https://drupal.org/project/groupadmin, which seems like it's along the right lines for me, but it's only for 6.x
I like the ideas groupadmin had of adding "promote" "demote" "add" "remove" buttons right onto the people/ page.

Anyone know of something similar for 7.x

I'm running Commons 3.3 and OG 2.3 and Core 7.23
