I will go for some opinions by quoting the part of what Ephemeral said.
Above all this, I'd like to say stuff that has discussed before. The propositions that have been made to change the system (that I heard so far) are only 2, and I beg of you please do not even consider doing stuff like this. These would be:
Both of them will do well, if the main consideration is quantity over quality. However, in a community that seeks for quality over quantity these days, I would not recommend even discussing this or attempt to create stuff for it. As Irreversible said:
This is something we have to avoid if we want to improve stuff instead of building something worse that exists now.
Above all: This kind of change should be considered for osu! Standard only, as the smaller modes are going on their peak so far. Rotting the other modes down by that change shouldn't be an option, considering there are people who like to play mania, taiko and CTB as well. Having two different systems would not crush the structure, but in this case it may even improve it.
These are all my thoughts on this so far.

a few core points to (maybe) focus on in your discussions:
* QAT engagement in "controversial" maps, current QAT are too placid and passive --> I definitely agree to this, QAT should leave the wiki and go for judging the maps mostly, or a seperate team should be created in order to create wiki stuff.
* greater accessibility for people to both enter and exit the team --> Define accessibility here. Is it more leniency to get accepted? Is it lowering the requirements or lowering the ability to judge and qualify stuff? If it could stay higher this proposition would not have done in the first place.
* the creation of a more focused role/responsibility for the QAT in the context of checking qualified maps --> I thought we already had QAH (Quality Assurance Helper) for this. To an extent, QAT (or whatever you might wanna call to wiki people) should do the wiki work mostly and QAH should actually judge and have the power of disqualification.
Above all this, I'd like to say stuff that has discussed before. The propositions that have been made to change the system (that I heard so far) are only 2, and I beg of you please do not even consider doing stuff like this. These would be:
- A bot (an artificial intelligence to be specific) to manage nominations, as in a bot that determines if a map should be nominated
- Judging by mappers' kudosu count they should have the ability of nominating, and even further count will give the power of disqualifying stuff.
Both of them will do well, if the main consideration is quantity over quality. However, in a community that seeks for quality over quantity these days, I would not recommend even discussing this or attempt to create stuff for it. As Irreversible said:

It's good that change will happen, but the OP Post doesn't quite say what change is going to happen exactly - so I will keep questioning whether the problem is actually being seen or not, because at times when I saw there's an upcoming change, it got fixed into something worse.
