Good question. I don't think we do. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2418#section-6.5
just says "The output of a design team is always subject to approval, rejection or
modification by the WG as a whole." And indeed, the question of when a design team
should expose its output to the WG has always been a bit unclear. Something like
"When you have something worth saying to the WG, say it as an I-D" perhaps.

I don't think it is. On the contrary, I think github is an excellent tool for
design teams to use; much better than private email.

I think that Joel's point applies more generally, not just to github.
