I agree. I think the point is, from the point of view of an IETF working
group, a design team, and a bunch of people working in a Github repo (who
could, of course, ALSO be a design team), are treated pretty much the same
when they contribute their output to the working group (via e-mail, of
course). The output might be great, middle of the road, or horrible, but
neither's output is privileged among other people contributing to the
working group - it's fair game for the working group, with no
assumption that the working group is bound by decisions that were made in
Github, or in the design team.

At least, I think that's the point we're trying to make here.

Best,

Spencer
