I think that this is the crucial issue in our communication. I agree
with the most of your points related to the problem solution processes
(actually, I didn't find any of them with which I disagree). The part
of VC's definition which deals with extreme cases should be something
like: "VC is dealing with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... and with all other issues
related to the community and the content not covered by any other
project body or Wikimedia-wide body." (Or whatever the exact sentence
should be.) Extreme cases are rare (in the contrast to "ordinary
cases") and it is not a good idea to build a general body around them.
However, they should be addressed somehow.
