The entire point of this working group (and the bis version that is in

Note that even the current email specs are not "standards" in IETF parlance
(there's another WG addressing that). It's mostly organizational semantic
slicing-and-dicing.
The current email specs (specifically RFC 5321 and 5322) are Draft Standard,
which is part of Standards Track. There is an enormous difference between
Informational and Standards Track in terms of the amount of vetting and
consensus required for approval. From RFC 2026:
An "Informational" specification is published for the general information
of the Internet community, and does not represent an Internet community
consensus or recommendation.
However, discussion and consensus which led to RFC 7489 were not much different
from the process that is taking place now. This mailing list started in April
2013.
Previous discussion took place elsewhere. There is still a 2011 draft at:
