It's long been strongly preferred (or rather required with lax enforcement) that the rights granter reply to or at least CC permissions.
Required by whom? Six wikipedians in a room does not make consensus.
We've certantly had cases of people outright lying about permissions requests, so that has to be balenced against our desire to trust and make things as simple as possible.
If I was willing to lie, I could easily pass this test.
Putting extra obstacles in the way of people trying to do the right thing does not encourage the right thing to be done. New rules and more complicated procedure do not enhance the chances of the correct outcome.
