they did not.

Other noises off-stage are rrelevant

The author(s) of the proposal MUST provide the threat model for each
service and a reasoned argument why the proposed action mitigates the
identified threat or threats.

Engineering best practice demands no less.

I disagree. Asking for a threat model seems odd, since the
proposed IESG statement isn't specific to a particular service
and absent that you can't sensibly construct a threat model I
think.

Transparent decision process demands no less.

I have no idea what's apparently opaque.

Ignoring Lloyd Wood's question is not an option.

LLoyd's questions were answered IMO.
