And that said, nothing stops an effort from beginning one way and

E-mail to the grow mailing list is a start, certainly. For what you're
asking about, what goes into the BMP statistics field in a new entry?
How does it compare to existing ones?
The list isn't the best way to outright do design and eventually the
answer is to write a new internet-draft. This eventually takes you to
the tooling for IETF: https://authors.ietf.org/. Since the authors for
the existing stats draft have uploaded their draft in XML format, you
can grab that from the data tracker to start a new one.
Prior WG discussion about the stats draft was that we eventually have a
need to publish the current contents. Since the statistics type code
points include a first come, first served option, the bar to creating
new statistics - potentially including proprietary ones - is not high.
However, most of the stats that will be of use to operators are ones
that have the greatest benefit if they're discussed in an open standards
setting. The current draft shows the first round of such a practice.
Many authors contributed to the statistics and the working group
provided review about the definition of those statistics.
Once there's a proposal, the usual IETF practices for WG adoption,
edits, and review happen. If you're looking for that level of
introduction to IETF process, it's probably time to take that part off
of the list.
