There is no steering committee, but the people making integration decisions are the maintainers of the compiler distribution (which evolves in a fairly similar way to “who has commit bits” in most open source project: from time to time we invite active contributors to join), with Xavier Leroy playing the role of a benevolent-grumpy dictator.
@avsm recently gave a good description of (some approximation of) a language design process:
(I say “approximation” because for now RFCs are experimental; they are mostly used as a tool for language maintainers themselves, and it’s not working very well. Personally I wouldn’t encourage people to rely on it before we get better at handling RFCs; and even then, we would have problem if we had more RFCs submitted than people doing the work of reviewing and giving feedback – which is the state of the implementation right now.)
