You may then be surprised to know how few people were involved in
"deciding" what the Internet turned out to be, for each single point in
time where an RFC became a standard.

That's how it works, and currently, noone has proposed a better way of
doing it.

However, you can of course come up with a proposal, based on your own
criticism of how these processes are. I don't quite see how that is on
topic for the address policy working group, though, as it's not an address
policy, but a meta policy which has ramifications far beyond this working
group.
