Fair enough. However, I think it is worth making the point somewhere that there is an analogy between a subset of participants who use a repo and a subset of participants that work as a design team, so the RFC2418 provisions for design teams should apply.

The more general question (when should a design team or github clique post a draft) seems more like a topic for gendispatch.
