[ghc-steering-committee] Welcome Malte and Matthías, and other membership changes

[Adam Gundry]

Thanks Simon!

As a side note, can I just remind everyone that 
ghc-steering-committee at haskell.org is a mailing list with public 
archives, so if you would like to share reservations about inviting any 
individuals, please keep them to private email between the committee 
members. Similarly, once I've received nominations, I will circulate 
them for discussion privately.

Cheers,

Adam
