Easier for you, not me. Again, glad to post elsewhere.

I’m sure you didn’t mean it this way, but this comes across as a threat.

Before the community decides to take you up on it, we should look at statistics[1]. Of the four RFCs you wrote in the past decade, three of them have co-authors. I wonder if future co-authors will feel the same way?  Of the 19 or so RFCs you published in this century, 14 have to do with transport (IANA, UDP, TCP, ports) and 5 are on other things.  (I’m not a transport person so that count might be off.) Which means, to me, that posting elsewhere is not a viable solution.
