Did you ask the chairs whether this is something they'd be
comfortable with?

(just noting for the record: this is precisely what DC15 have been
been doing).

This is a laudable goal, but we do have to concede that we're
dealing with something very complex here, and the team's changing
every year.
Look at the Debian constitution with its hundreds of lines. I won't
go and compare Debian and DebConf, but I do want to make sure
everyone stays aware of the real-time, real-life aspect of DebConf.
I don't know whether the KISS principle should take top priority
when it comes to figuring out how to organise DebConf in the future.
