<p>As I understood from the
<a href="https://wiki.haskell.org/Library_submissions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://wiki.haskell.org/Library_submissions</a> page (to which GHC
wiki links from

this job of elevating issue to the CLC is the job of a library
maintainer. So I repeat my question: who are the current
maintainer(s) of base library to make these calls.<br>
<br>
I'd like to know whom comments I can and cannot ignore when
proposing changes, as everyone has an opinion on how base should
be (myself including).<br>

As an outsider, it seems very reasonable to me to file a
bug against the issue tracker for a project whose code I
think should be changed. For better or worse, this is the
way that 99% of software projects work. Expecting everyone
in the community to know that they _shouldn't_ be filing
bugs against the issue tracker is a losing battle. I'm
more hooked in than most, and even I didn't know this.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can empathize with things not being done the way
you'd like to be, but the claim that things happening on
the GHC tracker are done "in private" is silly. The
gitlab tracker is 10x more accessible, and the lack of
community engagement on the mailing lists speaks
volumes.<br>
<br>
And besides, nobody wants to be on a mailing list
anyway. It's a terrible experience with weird branching
and no persistence, and while there are archives, it's
an extremely unpleasant thing to try to spelunk through.<br>

I think so, too, and I missed them as well.<br>
