Open up the issues tracker on ghc-proposals

The ghc-proposals repository does not have the issue tracker enabled, so it's currently impossible to open an issue.

The author can specify that a proposal is a "pre-proposal", with the goal of fleshing it out before committee submission.

I'd like to propose that we open up the GitHub issues tracker for ghc-proposals to serve as a place to discuss pre-proposal ideas. Once those discussions converge on one or a few specific plans, someone can write a proper proposal.
