[ghc-steering-committee] GHC proposals

[Simon Peyton Jones]

Friends
I'm a bit concerned that we are falling down on our commitment to decide about GHC proposals in a timely manner.
Part of the problem is that at any moment I don't have a clear snapshot in my head of what decisions are pending, and who is driving them.  I know that Joachim hates manual solutions, but I have spent a few minutes digging through my email to build

  *   this spreadsheet giving the current status<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tt2BUtr6ws4YtdkM7f986pb8rid26-TyKxsBp8OdUjA/edit?usp=sharing>
You all have edit permissions.  It covers only the handful of proposals that are in our court.   Can I suggest that we all use it to keep ourselves on the ball?   E.g. as a shepherd you can use it to record who you are waiting for, as I have done for #302.
You'll notice that we are behind on every one of them.  Remember, if there edits we want the author to make, we push it back, out of our court.  It can re-enter when the author re-submits.
If our commitments are over-ambitious, let's review them.
Tom: you are our official nudger.  Would you like to make you weekly nudge into an email to the full committee, with a pointer to the spreadsheet and your current understanding of who is responsible for driving?
I hope this is helpful.  If not, let's think of something else!
Simon
