[ghc-steering-committee] Status

[Joachim Breitner]

Dear committee,

let’s see what happened in the last months.

I still wonder if we should do another call for new members, to get
fresh momentum here. Simons, as Chairs, what do you think?


This has happened since the last status:

 * Triggered by input from Matthew Pickering, we 
   refined our proposal; discussions are now supposed to be happening 
   on GitHub and shepherd talk to authors before proposing to reject.

   The mail I just sent had an incomplete list of proposals that I 
   relabeled “Pending shepherd recommendation”. See below for
   the full list.

   Dear shepherd (Iavor, Vitaly, Ben, Manuel), please follow the 
   new process for the open proposals listed below.

 * were asked to review these proposals:
   #213 Namespace specifiers (Shepherd: Iavor)
   #194 Updated partial type signatures (Shepherd: Vitaly)

 * got a recommendation from shepherds about:
   - none -

 * returned for revision by shepherd
   #177 Simple constrained type families

 * decided about the following proposals
   #209 Levity-polymorphic Lift (accept)
   #179 Printing of foralls (accept)
   #190 Module qualified syntax (accept)
   #155 Ty vars in lambdas (accept)


We currently have to act on the following 5 proposals, 3 down since
last stats:

Namespace Specifiers
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/214

Status: Waiting for Iavor to make a recommendation.

Updated partial type signatures
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/194

Type annotated quoters
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/125
Shepherd: Manuel
Status: Still waiting for recommendation. Manuel?

Provenance-Qualified Package Imports
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/115
Shepherd: Ben
Status: Still waiting for recommendation. Ben, this is pretty old!

ExtraCommas
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/87
Shepherd: Chris
Recommendation: accept
Status: More discussion happened, no clear consensus emerging.
 Maybe we should just do do a vote (with fine-grained ranked options)?



Cheers,
Joachim
