To be clear, my concern about a summarization process is less "honesty", and more simply basic competence :) If anything, I think centralizing most documentation in 1-2 places rather than throughout a thread would make it much easier to sniff out bad faith - it'd be much more apparent in the summary than in the knife-fighting of many argumentative threads. (And that applies to _any_ bad faith by any party, not just the submitter, like aggressive/misleading claims to authority, misleading or irrelevant claims about the history/intent of past licenses/documents, etc.)
But that assumes the summary gets written at all, with even the most basic grasp of the issues at play. In either case (competence or bad faith) a motivated board member or other volunteer could perhaps be very helpful there, if they could be found.
