As an individual, not a co-chair, it's my hope that part of "TCP maintenance" would include clarifying questions that implementers are bringing when it's legitimately the case that the original specification can be viewed as unclear or missing some commentary.  Amazingly, there are still new TCP implementations being written in 2008, and likely into the future, so it may prove useful.
 
My personal feeling is that the content of this particular draft is so easy to agree on (nobody has objected to it, at least), that it should ideally be very quick and easy to make a few editorial passes on it and and call it done.  It would probably take less time than debating over whether it's absolutely undeniably necessary or what WG it belongs to :).  As for where the work should be done, if it is done, I agree with Ted that TCPM exists to offload work from the RSVP maintenance and minor extensions working group aka TSVWG.
