Such as whomever chooses to stand up the responsibility, or is PKIX going to
go on forever ratifying extension X, protocol Y and policy Z?  This role
does not strike me as an engineering activity.  Hence my recent advocacy.

To the extent these issues remain relevant to the IETF and its governing
bodies, perhaps those superior organizations may wish to consider their
role.  In *that* regard, IANA's classic role comes to mind but since so much
of what PKI is and does to an enterprise is intrinsically bound up in
enterprise security policy (as it should be), it's not clear to me that an
IANA-like organization is the  best path forward.

Perhaps, Paul, given your exposure IETF/IESG/IAB organizational issues, you
could propose something?

I fear I've stirred the fire more than I should have.
