How do you propose standards to the web groups?
I want to propose CSS-inheritance—by-name (#box {inherit:$(#menu)})
and the reintroduction of marquee tags for horizontal scrolling (a frequently used UI pattern on shopping sites).

I'm not sure. I tried opening an issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts but that didn't get me very far. I suspect it's a case of making connections and then getting yourself an invite to present at a meeting.
I succeeded with opening an issue and getting something to be supported in browsers (although I think it's not yet in the standard). It was a very small and fairly uncontraversial tweak which was easy to specify, implement, and test, though - bigger things are probably harder.

If you can socialize your idea to a few of the people that show up frequently in the issues, it can really help. See if there's someone with open DMs, tell them you work on CSS in Servo, and ask what they think.
