If you're impatient, you can also check out the archives at <a href="https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/" class="">https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/</a>.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As for a feature request: if your feature changes the language GHC accepts (most do), the right place to post is at <a href="https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals" class="">https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals</a>. There is a description of how to proceed on that page. Proposals submitted there get debated within the community and then eventually sent to a GHC Steering Committee for a vote on acceptance or rejection. Then, we worry about implementing it. If you have a suggestion that does not change the language GHC accepts, you can post an Issue at <a href="https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/" class="">https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/</a>.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I hope this is helpful!</div><div class="">Richard</div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 4, 2020, at 8:59 AM, Anselm Schüler (conversations subemail) <<a href="mailto:conversation@anselmschueler.com" class="">conversation@anselmschueler.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">First of all, in general, I’m new to mailing lists (as used for discussions) in general, so a question about that:</div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">When subscribed to the mailing list, do you get<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">every</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>message, or are some discussions hidden?</div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Second of all, I’d like to know what kinds of messages are appropriate here.
