Who says there is no way to combine legal protection and non-absurd
procedures?


Not me. We don't have absurd procedures, so we're already there.

For example: community votes for a release, RM tags a release (and prepares
files), pmc rubber-stamps it with 'ACK' within 72 hours (a-la PMC
composition
change process), done.


PMCs are not about rubber-stamping anything. They are about project
oversight and responsibility.

And the big one. The main goal ASF exists for is fostering software
development
communities. With second goal being software released in the process. And
the
legal part here is an *evil necessity*, it is *not* a goal.


Interesting perspective. But my reading of the first couple of sentences of
this page suggests otherwise:
