I'm still learning about the SSG community, but my suggestion would be to keep 
the deliberation process as public as possible.  My experiences with open 
source communities have taught me that many assume the worst intentions when a 
decision was made in private. ;)

You could send a briefing to the mailing list about a pending 
vote/deliberation/argument and hold a weekly/bi-weekly meeting on IRC to allow 
anyone to drop by and discuss it.  This has worked fairly well in the complex 
OpenStack community.

Long story short, you're not overthinking it at all.  Open source software 
communities are always challenging and an open source community focused on 
security is even more difficult. ;)
