The fq codel rfc was written in pandoc, and converted via pandoc2rfc. The raw texts are managed in git and in github.

It took me a year of fiddling to get to acceptable output from this.

The amount of effort required was comparable to getting a paper formatted for the IEEE with TeX, with far less pleasing results than TeX.

Certainly you have to be committed if you want to write an rfc. The present process is a major barrier to entry.
