Mmmm... I have a very vague memory of something like this, but it must be
documented properly and not as "some mail" :)

These two pages do mention the board:
* more official: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_proposal_policy
* less official:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_committee/Handbook_(committee)

If it's not required, they must be updated.
