[ghc-steering-committee] Dealing with abuse on the issue tracker

[Moritz Angermann]

Dear Committee members,

I'd like to bring the following tweet (thread) from Matt to your attention:
https://x.com/mattoflambda/status/1815536812376707224

It concerns pull request: Allow reserved identifiers as fields in
`OverloadedRecordDot` by parsonsmatt · Pull Request #668 ·
ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals (github.com)
<https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/668>.

We do not seem to be as welcoming as we could/should be?

My stance in general around this is probably a bit old fashioned, and
what I learned on IRC back then: not to fuel and engage with negative
behavior.

I'm curious what the other committee members think about this.

Best,
 Moritz
