“Dictator” is probably a bad term. See this as a chairman. Someone who
can judge when consensus has been reached, and mark a DEP as accepted.
This would avoid the countless and boring nitpicks by people who still
want to discuss after the consensus has been reached.

I don’t buy this. There will always be a large minority, if not a
majority, who will refrain from using a DEP until it is marked as
accepted.
