Sure. But exactly which of these items affords the power to fix the 
"ftpmaster doesn't implement what they said they'd do" problem?

There was no technical disagreement, that was resolved last year. There 
was no decision to overrule except the unwillingness of the delegates to 
do some work, and you can't compel anybody to do work they don't want to 
do. (Not in Debian anway.)

What you can do is to find somebody who wants to do the work, and then 
find somebody who has the power to delegate the right to implement it to 
them. If Ian's statement that the DPL was not willing to do so is true, 
and so far I have not read anything at odds with said assertion, then 
asking the TC would not have accomplished much if anything IMHO.
