Regarding the signature size I actually found on the website https://quantum-resistant-bitcoin.bitcoin.foundation a very simple solution and that is called SegWit. SegWit can be used easily for this large signatures.

Lol. Decentralization vs. big blocks, were you around in 2017 and did you actually understand what the whole debate was about? Yes, let's create a second Bitcoin SV with 2 GB (or 275 MB, doesn't matter) blocks, but with quantum safe signatures ...

Using Segwit or not is a tiny detail. I think even Lopp has written about that possibility of a change in weight. Hash-based cryptography like SPHINCS+ would be a stronger argument, as some devs have stated that other quantum safe cryptosystems may not be safe enough. (edited)

About Jameson Lopp's conflict of interest, I have no idea about that, but honestly I would not be surprised if there was one. But a BIP should be decided upon by strictly technical and game theory related reasons. (Yeah, my remark about the "Bitcoin.foundation" may conflict a bit with that, but it simply doesn't look good if you try to pretend to be someone who you aren't. I guess for these reasons this "BIP" has got not much attention.)
