Normally when you want to require an approval process like chartering
it is because there is some power or authority being delegated to a
list.  If the only thing that being an IETF list gets you is
additional constraints, why do we need to have a complicated
chartering process?

Now if you propose that whenever an IETF list is given authority--over
a registry, over some approval process etc--it needs a charter and
that charter needs community review, I agree with you.
