GHC proposals not rendering

[Adam Gundry]

I suspect this is a regression specific to reStructuredText rendering, 
but it's affecting a few different repositories [1] so hopefully Github 
will fix it at some point.

In the meantime, for accepted proposals one can use

   https://ghc-proposals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

which Joachim set up some time ago [2]. I'm not sure how frequently it 
is updated, as it doesn't have the GHC2024 proposal listed. And it 
sometimes tries to redirect to https://ghc-proposals.haskell.org which 
apparently doesn't exist. Joachim, do you know the status of this?

(Of course, this doesn't help for rendering proposals that have not yet 
been accepted.)

Cheers,

Adam
