Indeed, avoiding new conflicts like we have seen with Luke with Taproot
activation params is a good reason to separate repositories in my opinion.
Beyond, "security through distrusting" [0] is a very legitimate
security philosophy including for communication space infrastructure.

No, I wish to ensure that if the aim of the BIP is ensuring high-quality
and readability of standards those ones are well-written, including when
the original standard is contributed by someone non-native.
I can only remember numerous times when my english technical texts have
been kindly corrected by other contributors. Having editors understanding
multiple languages helps in quality redaction.

Beyond, from reading conversations it sounds there is a disagreement if
it's an administrative task (i.e "assigning numbers") or editorial one (i.e
"high-quality, well-written standards").

If we wish to make things less bureaucratic, we might actually separate the
two tasks with different groups of BIP process maintainers :
- assign temporary numbers for experimentation
- wait for more-or-less finalized drafts written in a quality fashion
- assign final numbers for standard candidate deployment

If you see other ways to dissociate the roles and make things less
bureaucratic ? E.g having people only in charge of triage.
If I remember correctly the IETF does not assign RFC numbers for draft
proposals, and you generally have years of experimentation.

Best,
Antoine

PS: By the way, even at the United Nations, unanimity is not the rule, it's
two-third of the general assembly. I think your analogy is not valid.
