uh, no.   this is a common myth, but it's not true, and hasn't been
true for many years.

I hope (and believe) that the *potential* for publication is open 
to all, and that the process isn't biased according to who is asking,
but my understanding is that a great many drafts which are submitted 
for publication are rejected.  Like any other publication series
which has value as a compilation, the RFC series requires editorial 
oversight and filtering.  

For those that want an unfiltered publication series, there's always the web.
Or Usenet.
