No one is responsible, of course ;-). The general procedure is to apply 
democratic rules:

1. Make a Call for Discussion. When there is a lot of objection against your 
proposal modify or forget it. The CFD should last for about 2 to 4 weeks (or 
even longer). In order to post a CFD you have to state the charter of the 
group you like to open. Some explanations may also be helpful.

2. Start a Call for Votes. You need to establish a clear voting procedure 
first (answers YES or NO preferred). Some independent party should collect 
the votes. 

For an example you may check
