I am not sure this is all that is needed.

The technical committee can answer for precise questions with a few
alternatives: are A's arguments or B's arguments stronger, and should we
accept or reject the patch as is?

But I do not think it is meant to arbitrate questions about more remote
concerns: do we want the project to go in that direction or this
direction? It is a different kind of decision.
