What's most important isn't that more people get involved, it's that
policy itself is technically excellent and accurately describes how
packages ought to, should, and must function in Debian.
That said, anyone is free to submit patches to Debian's Policy, but
they must pass muster first.

Feel free to shove a copy of Debian's Policy into a wiki somewhere and
use it as a mechanism to generate suggested patches for incorporation
into Policy itself; no one will (or can) stop you from doing that and
driving that effort.
