<peronal opinion>

The idea of a "Maintenance" WG is that we can work on maintanance of all
the documents in that space (in this case existing AAA WG documents).
So I prefer a more generic work item aka:

   - Maintaining and/or Progressing (along the standards track) 
     Diameter documents

I would then add something to the effect:

   every revision document to be "maintained" needs explicit approval
   before it will be accepted as a WG document. 

In other words, this is not an "open ended" approval for revisions.
We need to consider all such revision work carefully before we (as
a WG) embark on it.
