Well, at least there is a mitigation factor (in theory).
Set the maximum amount of documents that can be worked in parallel.
If folks want their own document added as a WG document, they'll have
to work on the existing documents out of the door first. (Obviously,
this is a tool WG chairs can already use; I'd certainly be interested
if the model has been executed successfully or unsuccessfully.)
This also requires that documents with ineffective editors get
raplaced reasonably quickly so there's always progress going on (and
the proposers of new work can't say, "but the existing ones aren't
going anywhere [because the editor isn't doing the job]").
