I thought that it was clear that anything being submitted for

There was no defining conclusion that I recall. There certainly
were such opinions expressed, but as we don't have any review
process for processes I don't see how a claim to clarity can
exist for such matters.
I have provided my reason, the community is not providing the
help contributers need during RFC.
We certainly can't possibly vote it in if it's
not in such a state, because we wouldn't even know what it
would look like when it was merged in.

Sure you can, if the modifications are simple to understand then
it is clear what it will be like in the long run. For those who
feel the unknowns are too great, "No" is an appropriate vote. On
the more important side, during review many times the issues are
resolved prior to voting.
That said, we do need to figure out how to guide contributers
when they hit known/unknown show stoppers. I've been lucky so far
in working with libraries built specifically for Phobos with good
quality, I've intended to take the things I've learned and put
them into the wiki; which I shall state so I'll actually take
responsibility to do so.
Thank you Jonathan, I will continue to think about how I can
better help a contributer and suggestions are welcome.
