The special tasks of Policy delegates are:
* Commit access to the Git repository and uploads of the debian-policy
package itself, which makes them responsible for debian-policy as a
package in Debian and for making final decisions about when a new
version is released and what bits go into it.
* Rejecting proposals. Anyone can argue against a proposal, but the way
I'd been thinking of it, only Policy delegates can formally reject it.
* Counting seconds and weighing objections to proposals to determine
whether the proposal has sufficient support to be included.
Everything else can be done by anyone / any DD (depending on the outcome
of the discussion about seconding). We explicitly want any Debian DD to
review and second or object to proposals. The more participation, the
better.
