I noticed that the tradition is formulated as a principle laid down by
an authority in other venues.  I don't know whether the persons doing
that are aware of the weaknesses.

FWIW, I wouldn't get too hung up on this point. A lot of
the time ADs (or recent ex-ADs) are the ones writing
drafts like these because nobody else cares really - it's
just that ADs see these issues crop up over and over and
tend to want to fix 'em;-)

Issues of note to the IESG should be offered by the IESG as a whole.

FWIW, it’s also possible that this little echo-chamber sees what it things are huge problems that the rest of us don’t need to burn cycles trying to fix, too.
