No, you definitely don't have to be a member of the TC (or even a DD
or DM or maintainer) to refer a matter to the TC.

But as a matter of bug organisation, it's often better to file a new
ug against tech-ctte, than to reassign an existing bug - eg if the
existing bug has a very long discussion containing many side issues.
Filing a new bug gives you the opportunity to write a summary of the
issues you actually want the TC to decide on.  You can then set the
existing long bug to be blocked by the new TC bug.
