It sounds like an RFC / BCP would be a good target.
I suspect given the controversy over a lot of these
ideas an intermediate phase would be needed where
the controversy could be aired in depth, before being
summarised into a BCP.

 From that pov, a wiki + discussion list leading to a
BCP would seem like a good idea.

Alternatively, let all these things be thrown into
the mixing pot and see what happens?
