Yeah, let's not complicate things. I tend to think that the list is a
good way.

* The candidate sends their application here.

* At least one current committer respective wiki admin confirms in a
  reply to the list that the candidate is ready.

* If somebody (any doc team member) disagrees, they state their doubts
  in a reply to the list.

* If nobody expresses their reservation within a week, the candidate is
  added.

This would effectively make the current committers respective wiki
admins the decision makers.

Some criteria are stated at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/

Possibly they ought to be expanded a little. OTOH, the most important
criteria are not easy to put words on: After all we want committers and
wiki admins with good judgement and who don't screw up things. ;)
