Arguments over gitberghutlabejo aside, I believe Florian's veto is predicated on direct email submissions no longer being an option.
The current wording reduces to "use GitHub or publicly beg someone else to do that for you;" the XSF has always accepted email submissions (if only because this was initially the only practical solution) and to rule it out now would be both limiting and discouraging.
So, acknowledging the additional overhead for editors in processing email submissions, a possible rewording might be:
• XEPs should be submitted via a GitHub Pull Request that adds the XML file (and changes no other XEPs) to the "inbox" directory. (See <link url="#maintain">below</link> for a typical working pattern.)
• Contributors without a GitHub account are advized to request help from the community in the XSF MUC (xsf@muc.xmpp.org) or via email to the &SSIG; (standards@xmpp.org).
• If neither of the above submissions options are possible, an email submission may be sent to the &EDITOR; team (editor@xmpp.org) with the subject containing the word "XEP". Note, however, that this causes additional work for editors and therefore may result
in a delay in processing.
