The length of the written mail list track of a document is only one indicator.
It's an important one, but it should not be treated as absolute. Sometimes 2-3
people debated one obscure aspect of the document in tens of messages.
In the case when a document generated zero or very little discussion on the
mail list, and yet the write-up mentions 'broad consensus' I would recommend to
verify what is the 'broad consensus' assessment based upon.

I think the core issue is whether or not there's been adequate review,
and it seems to me to be appropriate to request volunteers from wg
participants to review documents before moving them along.
