I agree with Martin that saying more than this is scope creep, even if it's
useful to chop off the creepy parts and take them to gendispatch.

I think it IS fair to say "people working on an early version of a draft in
Github is the equivalent of a design team working on an early version of a
draft using private e-mail, so the usual working group practices and
cautions for design teams apply to Github as well", or something like that.
