Just as a quick followup to this:
Yes, it would be great if we can have volunteers from the WG serve as
shepherds. It provides a whole bunch of benefits, including:
1: An additional set of (focused) eyes on the document.

2: It provides people with significant "behind the curtains" exposure - you
get to see how the sausage is actually made

3: It provides a further backstop to confirm that the process was correctly
followed (there does indeed seem to be consensus, the check and balances
were all checked and balanced, etc).

4: It provides you with a taste of chairing, but with less work.

If you are even considering ever chairing a WG, you can get a good head
start by shepherding a few documents — ADs are likely to be more supportive
if you've already demonstrated skill and judgment by doing so.

Additionally, chairs are *not* ideal shepherds.
