Dmitrii, as stated by the champion of import.meta in the issue, issues/2 is one 
step of the process, in which we ask other members of the committee to review 
the spec text before it can be presented for stage 3. But you should be able to 
open other issues in that repo to voice your concerns about that proposal. 
Additionally, we have other channels, like this one, or via other members who 
can voice your concerns in upcoming meetings.

As for the particular feature that you’re referencing, I suggest you to look at 
previous discussions about `import`, and why it is different (a hint: it is 
different because like super, it needs some contextual information). As one of 
the champions of the whatwg loader, I can tell you that we spent many hours 
trying to figure the best course of actions based on the initial loader spec, 
and we believe `import` is the right thing to do. import.meta is just a 
progression of that decision.
