I really hope TLS crypto standards won't be set (or changes rejected) based on who proposed a particular change.

Changes should stand on their own merits. I don't see why we should trust anyone, random or not. It's not about trusting people, it's about trusting algorithms. So it doesn't really matter who in particular proposes changes.

In a ideal world, but if you get a lot of "contributions" some might slip through. Remember, no one can match NSA's budget, manpower and maybe brainpower.
