It may help to know a bit more context.

The original underlying problem this process is aiming to solve is where
a change is proposed but they're not entirely sure what approach to
take, and the contributor feels blocked due to lack of guidance.
Similar kinds of uncertainty can pop up in bug triage, and with
developers who implement a new feature but need advice on how to
optimize the UI/UX for it.

So, the idea is sort of an anti-bureaucracy, where instead of slowing
things down by requiring approval steps, to instead focus on where there
is uncertainty or disagreement and figure out how to help the
contributor get through those blocks.
