I would say that it's primarily a sounding board for the BDFL for when
executive decisions need to be made. It's also a place for conflict
resolution that is best handled off-list or to put an end to
bikeshedding and a stabilizing force for, e.g., when new spkgs are
proposed whether they're for the long term benefit of Sage (as opposed
to the submitters, who are have a strong bias for, and the rest of the
crowd, who either doesn't care or says "that sounds good" without much
personal investment.)
