I agree with all of your suggestions.

I would go further than this.  If a petitioner to the TC doesn't show
a clear case to answer, the maintainer should not be expected to
provide a rebuttal.

In general I would prefer it if the TC exercised much firmer case
management.  (Even if that means telling me to shut up, which I
suspect it might well do :-/.)
