The policy isn't completely clear at the moment with regard to library 
proposals, so I think we should try to clarify.  Here are the options:

  1. The proposer must validate proposed patches (probably not a good idea,
     as time elapses between proposal and acceptance)

  2. Whomever pushes the patch must validate first.

  3. GHC forks all the boot libraries (we currently fork Cabal and
     bytestring only), and validate is only required on patches to
     GHC's fork.

I guess 2 makes the most sense, but whatever we do we should document it in 
the library proposal process.

Cheers,
