Yes, but typically not a problem to know if the authors want it to move.
As a chair, i will not start consideration of a WG adoption unless the 
authors ask me to do so.

It is very much an inflection point to move the draft out of author control to WG control.  I believe we do need to know whether the co-authors agree that this point actually has been reached, from their point of view as well.  Now, if a co-author has already asked for WG adoption, this is redundant information, but for other co-authors it may not be.
