It is possible that afterwards I did this "1 week public notice" thing for
some time when processing requests, I don't really remember. However in
more recent times I clearly had forgotten about that. I think when others
handled requests they also went ahead straightaway to file a bug on
Bugzilla/Phabricator.
This seems to be a good time then to update the onwiki documentation to the
actual practice or to what we would like it to be.

Counting how much time is needed for a project to come
to this stage
present, I don't think four days are a big deal. It's also a good idea
to give the Board a legal method to block project creation, than to
come into awkward situations.

Mmmm... I have a very vague memory of something

These two pages do mention the board:
* more official:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Language_proposal_policy
* less official:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_committee/Handbook_(committee)
If it's not required, they must be updated.
