> Editors are free to simply reject feature requests rather than follow this process.

This sentence needs to be removed or reworded.

One way in which it can be read is the editors have the power to block features
without providing any rationale or recourse.

The simplest fix is simply to remove this sentence.  What remains is a simple
statement that there are two ways to get new features in: a WG Decision as a a
result of an issue, or a WG Decision as a result of a Call for Consensus.

If it is felt that some form of this sentence needs to remain, the "rather than
follow this process" part needs to be replaced with a description of the
process that is to be followed.
