Now this statement is about Internet-Drafts, not about the RFC series
or any substream thereof.

If we figured out who is in charge of the Internet Drafts mechanism as
a whole, that body might be the right one to make pronouncements for
the whole whatever-it-is. (I don't think we've ever called the
Internet drafts a document series...)

I don't think we've figured out that yet. And it's a separate topic.
