    The owner of a media type may pass responsibility to another person
    or agency by informing the IANA and the ietf-types list; this can be
    done without discussion or review.

So it appears that just changing the change controller does not require 
IESG approval (HTML5 does more than that; I'm just trying to understand 
the procedure in cases where *just* the ownership changed).
