Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your feedback.
When the XSF (then JSF) started publishing XEPs they were known as
Jabber Enhancement Proposals. We modeled this after other organizations,
in particular the well-known PEP series of the Python Software
Foundation. It is explicitly the intent to include both procedural and
protocol standards documents in this series. This is why there are
different *types* of XEPs, or *tracks* if you will. You can read up on
this in XEP-0001.
The fact that the expanded name is now XMPP Extension Protocol doesn't
change that fact. Whether that change was a wise choice is debatable,
and maybe indeed we should have used XMPP Enhancement Proposal or XSF
Enhancement Proposal or some such. I remember there was a discussion on
this way back when, but I haven't taken the time to look it up in our
archives.
Including procedural documents into standards series like this is a very
common practice. Examples include the PSF mentioned above, numerous
Apache Software Foundation procects, and the IETF. Doing it this way
provides us with a clear framework for developing procedures and putting
them in force. It doesn't preclude to possibility to (also) present the
output of such proposals in other places, like a dedicated page on the
XSF website.
If you have suggestions on how to improve our processes, we welcome your
constructive input. We then have clear ways to consider your
suggestions, including proposals to include cookie recipes.

Yet another irrelevant document masquerading as a protocol extension. I
suggest stop using XEPs as an unsorted pile of various texts, or else
you'll soon have cookie recipes there.
If you want some place for a CoC, just put in on a website in
'community' section next to 'membership' page.
