[ghc-steering-committee] Question about "Add Unified Namespace" (#270)

[Iavor Diatchki]

I am fine with committing Simon's changes to the process, although
having read through them I am unclear on what action should I take.
Here are some idea:

   1. should I remove the label "Pending Shepherd Recommendation" and
un-assign myself as a shepherd? or
   2. remove the label, but stay as a shepherd, or
   3. change the label to "Needs revision", or
   4. do nothing, and stay in the current state until the discussion
settles down?
