Really interesting idea. > 5. Several rounds may be used before finding a consensus or aborting I think this is important. In my experience with these processes, a "disapprove" does not have to automatically end the process. Deliberation could be reopened. > 8.

In my experience, in a group of similar size to the Guix team members, we had two of these, and they were full members of the group, and took their responsibilities as facilitators very seriously.
