What if some components are or are not willed by some of us, a decision as
to be taken, maybe a lazy vote could stand ?

Fine with me. FWIW, I think we do need an official vote. My current
understanding is that the only non-committer contributions that don't
need a
vote are patches.
I am sorry, but I don't think that is a vote is required. Can you point us
to some policy or discussion threads regarding this, where you think this
decision was made?
And what if a new component is submitted via a patch? Which category would
that fall under?
Thanks,
Om
