Really? This appears to be exactly the single, special status privilege

False.
It is, in fact a serious complaint
that many are trying to correct, including Manu with his offer to assist
in setting up a more egalitarian solution.
In fact, Manu is an instance proof that the previous statement you made
is false.
Ian is free to produce Working Drafts that are published by this working
group. The status of such drafts are, and I quote[1]:
"Consensus is not a prerequisite for approval to publish; the
Working Group MAY request publication of a Working Draft even
if it is unstable and does not meet all Working Group requirements."
Both you and Manu have exactly the same ability as Ian does in this
respect. Ian has asked the group for permission to publish, and that
was granted. Manu has produced a document but has yet to request
permission to publish as a Working Draft. You are welcome to do
likewise[2].
