Hi Peter,

Yes, RFC 4250 Section 4.6.1 specifies names be approved by IETF CONSENSUS as defined in section 3.2 with this definition:

  IETF CONSENSUS - New values are assigned through the IETF consensus
   process.  Specifically, new assignments are made via RFCs approved by
   the IESG.  Typically, the IESG will seek input on prospective
   assignments from appropriate persons (e.g., a relevant Working Group
   if one exists).

Your suggestion to move to 

  EXPERT REVIEW - approval by a Designated Expert is required.

makes sense to me as the experts are designated by RFC  8126 in section 5 via the IESG with the help of ADs… I think I got that right?

I would suspect that Kex method names and encryption algorithm names may not always be given to the same designated expert person.  I am uncertain if a mailing list for all of the SSH parameters table update approval should be the same individual or not.

I agree that the [e-mail] list could be used as a start and that group could choose the expert to use for a request.

And, yes, I need to finish that off. I let it slip off my radar, but I’ll turn it around shortly.

As far as I understand, the independent submission route is not possible
due to the IANA registration policy for the SSH KEX registry.
