Dear GHC devs,

Your feedback is appreciated in a new proposal to streamline
communication with the authors of the GHC API as GHC evolves [1].

The proposal aims to set a process to collect detailed information on
how users depend on the GHC API, and how GHC developers think these
dependencies should be adjusted when there are breaking changes.

This proposal is related to the endeavor to stabilize the GHC API [2].
Although, rather than trying to define a stable API, it sets a process
to deal with the current state of affairs where users depend on many
unstable parts.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
Facundo
