www-style@w3.org is the mailing list for the CSS Working Group. Or perhaps you should raise an issue.
But I wonder if this is really a browser implementation issue. HTML has tbody and thead/tfoot in the expectation that browsers will implement the scrollability - probably doing something like setting an explicit height on the tbody with CSS - some time at the end of the 1990s.
I don't think there is any need to change HTML itself, and I suspect that CSS also has the relevant properties - it intuitively seems that something like
tbody { height:2em;overflow:hidden }
should do the trick, but in the couple of browsers I tested - Yandex, based on blink like Chrome Vivaldi and Opera, and Firefox - it doesn't.
cheers

Sounds like you might need the cooperation of both parties; how can I post to them?

Love it, but this should go to www-style J. I don’t think we want more stylistic attributes in HTML.
Please, oh, please, oh, please: Finally fix TABLEs so that the TBODY can be made scrollable for a fixed table height;
an attribute like:
<table...scrollable="scrollable"...
