The ArbCom's reputation has rapidly shifted from "they'll get to it some
month" to "we are concerned about their speed", so I think we'll get there
;-)

When bringing a possible ArbCom case, it helps to have touched all bases.
That means a genuine attempt to fix things first, a coherent RFC, examples
ofr every assertion in your case and putting it in the format of the
template. This reduces the Pain In The Arse factor and helps us get on the
case quickly. We're not currently archiving rejections, but possibly we
should - some of the recent ones are good examples of how not to do it.
