Comment (by nomeata):

 I am also in the committee, and I agree with what Richard is saying. There
 is a process, and the situation has not changed.

 I may not be more senior than Richard, but I speak with the authority of
 being the Committee Secretary.

 Also, judging from previous decisions of the committee, I can already tell
 you that it has a pretty slim chance of success.

 Often, online communication is not very helpful when you want to get your
 idea out, and people will not understand your point. Is there maybe a
 local Haskell meetup in your area where you could bring your idea forward,
 to gauge and gather support, and get immediate feedback?
