[ghc-steering-committee] Status

|  I still wonder if we should do another call for new members, to get fresh

It's hard for all of us to make time to review proposals.  Seeking more members would help with that, as well as keeping us open to fresh people and ideas.

Are you thinking about simply having a bigger committee, or are some of us about to rotate off?

|  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:
|
