Yes, the main drawback of the nova-specs repository is that it
perpetuates a project-centric view of features. StoryBoard will enable
tracking of cross-project features (the same way Launchpad bugs can have
tasks affecting multiple projects). So if this idea sticks, it would be
nice to have a solution for approval of cross-project specs in the future.

In the mean time this is not a blocker to experimentation.
