Anyone is free to propose changes/additions by just mailing to the
lsb-discuss or lsb-spec lists and they are just as likely to cc
debian-devel as all the other distro specific discussion lists
(meaning not likely).
Its not as formal a process as you might imagine and we attempt to
reach consensus by discussion on the mailing lists. We _haven't_
traditionally put together proposals which are then forwarded to the
distributions for feedback and review, as representatives from the
distros themselves have been involved in their development. The
distributions may well have internal discussions, but its not unusual
for people from the same distribution to voice differing points of
view to the mailing list.
I'm happy to forward on announcements of specification releases to
debian-devel and debian-policy (if this appropriate). I don't think
that its possible to do this with each individual change to the
specification. It probably requires an experienced debian developer or
developers to pass on discussions which will be of wider interest.
Chris.
