Pick the bug of your liking and help get it through the full process:
http://wiki.debian.org/PolicyChangesProcess
Restart discusion when not enough discussion happened, possibly seeking
for comments on other Debian lists. When there's a consensus, (get someone
to) draft the policy change and get a patch ready. Then call for seconds.
Always adjust the tags accordingly during the process and close bugs when
it's clear that there's no consensus and that it won't go forward.
