Brainpool curves and ShangMi ciphers for TLS were published as ISE submissions
Note that Brainpool curves had their own crypto war between proponents and the same cryptographer in CFRG that got so toxic, most of the brainpool proponents left IETF forever and might have even reduced participation of a big OS vendor in general. I wouldn't mention it as a good example of how IETF evaluates and publishes documents. The ShangMi ciphers were not the result of a multi-year public cryptographic evaluation program, and can hardly be equated to the efforts of the NIST competition, so their path via the ISE makes total sense as the circumstances are completely different from MLKEM.
