Pine,
please read what risker said in this thread. It is not about proper paperwork, it is about choosing who to reach and what to communicate to them.
Communicate with multimedia team about getting an objective picture and doing the statistics right.
This is a broad interesting topic that, as you may see at the rfc talk page, would make use of a structured and free approach with better software (and rather interestingly, potentionally input from users of various sister projects and languages).

Hi Gryllida,
As I said on the Arbcom case page, RfCs result in changes to Wikipedia on a regular basis despite having a small numbers of participants in each RfC, and current English Wikipedia policy does not require a minimum number of participants beyond what is necessary to establish consensus. Furthermore, any assertion that the MV RfC was invalid because of its advertising or because it had too few participants would open up countless RfCs to being challenged for the same reason. I believe that the form of the MediaViewer RfC and participation in it were sufficient to establish a legitimate consensus.
I am still thinking through the effects that this situation has on the WMF-community relationship. I'm pretty discouraged, and I know others are too.

Will WMF deactivate MediaViewer on English Wikipedia per community consensus?
Also, as WMF probably knows, Commons is currently having a similar discussion:
