Just to confirm, I assume you mean:

I was trying to preserve as much of the original text as I could and 
didn't even think about this.  In context it works, given the paragraph 
that precedes it.  But it certainly isn't essential.  Also, it's worth 
making the paragraph stand on its own.

So, perhaps...

      This working group will conduct a limited review and revision to 
the base email specifications, and will publish new versions of these 
documents at Internet Standard status, per RFC 6410. The limited review 
is restricted to corrections and clarifications only. In addition to 
processing existing, verified errata and errata marked as "held for 
document update", the WG may address newly-offered errata.  However, no 
new protocol extensions or amendments will be considered for inclusion 
into 5321bis and 5322bis documents, unless they are already published as 
RFCs.
