[ghc-steering-committee] Proposal process refinements, removal of Markdown option

[Adam Gundry]

Hi everyone,

There is some discussion going on around refining the proposal process 
documentation in this PR from VitWW:

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/712
https://github.com/VitWW/ghc-proposals/blob/update-readme/README.rst

I'm not planning to send this PR through the full review process itself, 
but I wanted to flag it up in case anyone from the committee wishes to 
comment.

One point in particular to note is the removal of Markdown format as an 
option for authors, so that all proposals will be ReStructuredText. It 
seems this was agreed in principle several years ago, but not 
subsequently implemented, per this discussion:

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/issues/560

If anyone objects to this change, please do speak up.

Cheers,

Adam
