I like this approach. Be great to track all changes.
How about adding the process steps, you list below, to the readme or other doc in the repository.
Thanks,

> With proposed changes to the policy, the process would roughly be:

> 1) Someone proposes the changes by checking out the git repo, editing
> the document, and running the git-review command line too
>
> 2) Discussion of the changes would happen through the gerrit web

>
> 3) The author would respond to that discussion, mostly likely making
> amendments, and uploading those new reviews to gerrit
>
> 4) The proposal would be discussed in a committee meeting.
>
> 5) Eventually, the committee members would individually vote +1 on
> the proposal.
>
> 6) The proposal would be presented to the board, showing the diff,
> and the end result. Perhaps several changes would be proposed to
> the board at once.
>
> 7) Each change that is approved by the board is then merged into the
> repo using the gerrit web interface by either the foundation board
> chair or the committee chair.
