Adjust language for getting patent policy comittments from non-participants

[frivoal]

This makes sure that we seek commitments to the patent policy from the the people who are originating the substance of the change being offered, rather than from those who are doing the mechanical work of offering them.

Note: This aligns with current Team practices and existing tooling.

Addresses #903

<TallTed> s/florian, you wanted to make a procedural point/
<Ian> Florian: PSIG is discussing this and has not yet converged. But one note is that prior to 2019 there was no formal rule about what to do regarding non-Member contributions , and the PP FAQ explained that it's the responsibility of a WG Chair to do the right thing. In 2019 a formal rule was introduced but the PP FAQ was not updated.

<Ian> Brent: My first reaction is that the PSIG should update the FAQ
<brent> ack Ian
<Ian> Ian: Two areas of concern for me include (1) where rules should reside [IMO, should not be in the process] and (2) who has responsibilities (e.g., Chairs v. Team)
<Ian> Brent: Since PSIG is discussion, let's await their findings.
<RRSAgent> I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2026/01/14-w3process-minutes.html Ian

<Ian> Florian: The core is probably not being disputed. I think we should converge on text to bring to PSIG.
<Ian> ACTION: Florian to create a draft that he feels best represents consensus of the thread to present to PSIG
<Ian> present TallTed

<Ian> TallTed: I think we should emphasize "secure" rather than "request"; ok for that to be another pull request
<brent> ack TallTed

<Ian> Florian: Last time I said I would combine comments into a canonical text (done) and sent to PSIG (done). Now we await PSIG replies so let's leave open.
