Just to be clear on how they currently do, in the relatively recently
drafted (and still draft status) architecture guidelines:

"An RFC is a request for review of a proposal or idea. RFCs are
reviewed by the community of MediaWiki developers. Final decisions on
RFC status are made by the WMF architects (Mark Bergsma, Tim Starling,
Brion Vibber)."
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_guidelines

This is of course a process we could change, and rely more on informal
recognition of technical leadership than formalized roles or titles.
