It is, I believe, a consequence o their being simply too much

Of course, having too much stuff to look at is ultimately a
consequence of the inability of the Steering Group to prioritize
and structure work enough (even if it means saying "no" to
reasonable, but less-important, proposals) that the number of
things people (and they) have to look at bears a reasonable
relationship to available time and resources.
I'd add working group chairs (though I'm sure there are a few
exceptions) to the list of those with an apparent inability to
prioritize and structure work. Or perhaps WGs should have to get
approval from their supervising AD before they can take on new documents.
