I think one of the aim of the BIP process is to harmonize common mechanisms 
among Bitcoin clients of different langages breeds or at different layers 
(wallet / full-node).
Having someone among BIP editors with a proven track record of contributing 
to other full-node codebase beyond C++ can be valuable in that sense.
Especially for all matters related to compatibility and deployment.

In a world where both Core and BIP repository are living under a single 
Github organization, I don't think in matters that much as the highest 
privilege account will be able to 
override any BIP merging decision, or even remove on the flight BIP editors 
rights in case of conflicts or controversies. If you're raising the issue 
that the BIP repository should be moved to its own GH repository I think 
it's a valuable point.

Beyond, I still think we should ensure we have a wider crowd of 
geographically and culturally diverse BIP editors. As if the role is 
ensuring high-quality and readability of the terminology of the standards, 
we might have highly-skilled technical BIP champions which are not English 
native. With the current set of proposed BIP editors, to the best of my 
knowledge, at least we have few langages spoken by the candidates: Dutch, 
French, German, Spanish. This can be very helpful to translate concepts 
devised in language A to technical english.

Best,
Antoine
