If this ruleset has been in effect all this time, then 14/7 should have
allowed players to join and forfeit during the Emergency.

I don't think a poll would help, though; 15/20 only allows polls to be
called when specified by the rules, and even if you announced e.g. "I
initiate (not call) a poll", only the other rules allowing polls to be
called (23/14, 125/6, 578/21) specify that the result of a poll has any
effect on the gamestate.

But what about just invoking this clause of 0/4?

"If, during an emergency, a majority of the most recently recognized
 body of players recognizes that there is no longer an emergency, the
 Procedure immediately ends, if it is currently happening, and the
 Emergency ends with no change to the state of the game."
