Requests for Comment/Involved discussion closure

As some of you may know, an uncodified but important convention among Stewards is that we don't (usually) close discussions (such as Requests for Comment, Requests for global rights/permissions, etc.) where we have participated/are involved. For example, if I vote in a Request for Comments, I cannot close it even if it has unanimous support and a while has passed since the request has opened. While really no request is urgent, it would be nice if involved Stewards could close a discussion after some while has passed and no uninvolved Steward has been able to close the discussion just so we can bring it to a close and not stall any processes. Uninvolved closures will always be favored so the proposed conditions for a Steward to close a discussion are there so that this only occurs rarely when a lot of time has passed and no uninvolved Stewards have had time to close a discussion.

Proposal 1 (Involved closure if)
Stewards who have participated in a discussion and are 'involved' may close the discussion only if the support ratio is of at least 70% and if at least 21 days have passed.

Support (1)

 * 1)  As proposer, per foreword. If a discussion has been open for a long time and consensus is obvious, there should be no issue in closing the request.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:22, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  Seems fine. I would however encourage Stewards to refrain from closing if there's any possible doubt about the result and rather leave it to someone uninvolved unless really necessary to close. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:39, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3)  I agree with the rationale. --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 17:00, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4)  This seems like a solid step forward in governance, gives clear guidance to avoid perception of conflict of interest or Supervoting behavior. --NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 23:27, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 2 (No involved closure)
Stewards who have participated in a discussion and are 'involved' may not close that discussion.

Oppose (2)

 * 1)  It would nice to be able to close a discussion if a lot of time has passed and no other uninvolved Steward has closed the discussion.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:22, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  A full ban isn't necessary but again as far as possible invovled closures should be avoided and shouldn't be frequent. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:41, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3)  Given the absolute rarity of users with steward role at the moment, this seems counterproductive compared to the first proposal. --NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 23:25, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) I concur. --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 01:38, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
