The situation is very different from Fortran, but mostly in good ways. The Fortran standards committee's meetings aren't open to the public, and they publish a new version of the standard every 5 years that takes another 5 years for the compilers to catch up to (if they ever support the new version). In the Julia world, you just make a pull request on github, and if it's something that needs a discussion, it gets discussed in a meeting that happens every other week and is open to and takes input from anyone.
