Actually there's been a formalized process for several years:
http://www.rcrchive.net.  It's recently been re-started, and there are
some differences in logistics (mailing lists instead of comments on
the site; more group participation in revision of RCR text).  But the
basic components of the RCR, and the presence of a process, are not
new.
