9/ Regular users don’t understand the nuances of technical parameters like block size, as
@NickSzabo4 pointed out. In that sense, letting “users”/“miners” vote in the BIP process is not a good idea, because you’re assuming these parties are qualified to make technical decisions. -
10/ Keep in mind, miners can already send technical people to represent themselves in the BIP process. So could a party like Coinbase. No one is stopping them from participating.

11/ If you are technically competent, you can contribute. Period. No need to distinguish devs vs. users vs. miners vs. exchanges. Think about it, how would you know a dev is not already working for a miner?
