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.
The request is surely that the specification of the application
include the threat model, which seems a very reasonable
requirement.

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.
I regret that I am not convinced they were.
