[ghc-steering-committee] Status

[Iavor Diatchki]

I did let them know on github.  Also the proposal was resubmitted to the
committee only 4 days ago, so we are within the stated limits.

Also, I'd encourage members of the committee interested in the proposal to
continue the discussion, and not feel blocked by me.
