"Expression of Support" should not be the only way to respond to a proposal for new W3C work
What would be giving the impression that it is the only way to respond?
Both the W3C Advisory Committee [1] and the community behind semantic-web@w3.org
[2] were notified a little more than a month ago, and explicitly asked for feedback -- any kind of feedback. And we did not receive much, unfortunately.
Even now, the link you quote still gives access to two templates : one to express support, and one to raise any kind of issue (as you have noticed, obviously). So I think the comparison to UI anti-patterns is a little unfair.

The only way specially advertised in this repo, I meant. It's clearly an approach based on building a case for new W3C work, and there's nothing wrong with that - but I still suggest "Expression of Support or Interest or Concern" would be more useful. It's always better to gather this stuff before a WG is chartered.
And yeah, I owe some rdf-star feedback through one channel or another!

This comes off as a kind of "lobbying the W3C AC" move, or like those awful UI patterns where you get asked to either "Opt in!" or "Ask me later", without a "No thanks" pathway...
