Is there something that I should be doing to get this issue looked at by 
someone?

Nope! There's just a rather impressive backlog of stuff to be worked on, and 
only one full-time developer.

Though now that I look at this again, what exactly do you want to happen? Grab 
each slide as a PNG? Grab all the slides and a PNG of the title page?

If I use this command - google docs get --title "this" --format pdf, i get all 
the slides in that pdf file. With the format switched to PNG, I only get the 
first slide. I think this is a bug or I am doing something wrong.

That's just what Google naturally does when you ask for a presentation as a PNG 
-- gives you the first slide. It's not a part of GoogleCL. If you want each 
slide individually, you might want to look into pdfsam (free open source pdf 
split/merge program).

It's unlikely that GoogleCL will include a feature to download a presentation 
as multiple PNG files, though the documentation should make it clearer what the 
--format option will do to different download types.
