That certainly hasn't been my experience in the WHATWG. On the contrary, 
in fact; the way things have ended up working in the WHATWG is that a 
bunch of people state their requirements and provide relevant data, then 
in due course I wrap all the e-mails on a particular section of the spec 
into one e-mail and go through taking into account all the arguments, 
requirements, and data into account, making any needed changes to the 
spec, and then anyone interested in the topic replies to the relevant 
parts of the e-mail if they have new arguments or data to present, or to 
clarify misunderstandings or point out any errors I made.
