I suppose I'm kind of confused by the scope. We want template creators to propose RFCs for architecture changes in MediaWiki?
It's the Wikimedia Developer Summit, and therefore the audience comprises all the developers busy with Wikimedia -- developers of templates included. The Wikimedia Developer Summit encourages proposals about updating our architecture, infrastructure and services to better support users and developers. [1] There is no reason to restrict the scope to MediaWiki core and close neighbors, our platform is wider than that.
It is unlikely that template developers will initiate a RfC for changes in MediaWiki core, but what about discussing the roadmap and priorities for Scribunto, agreeing on a framework to handle template localization, or a common repository for templates... I'm not an expert in this area, and these are possible topics that just came to mind. Template developers will know what needs to be discussed and agreed to serve better their users.
