Low participation doesn't make the process flawed, as it isn't supposed
to be a democratic vote among all contributors in the first place. It's
just a way to define good tagging solutions. Having a debate involving
5-10k mappers doesn't work, but skipping discussion and inventing tags
based on the experiences of a single mapper who encounters a feature for
the first time doesn't produce quality results either.

Getting a few people who care about the issue to discuss it and agree on
a written result will produce good results, however. And the wiki RFC +
voting process is a possible way to make exactly that happen.
