Comment(by ross):

 The idea of the library submissions process was to get decisions about
 changes to key packages decided by consensus, rather than by an
 individual.  These packages list libraries at haskell.org as their
 maintainer.  As Ian says, the onus is on the proposer (who is presumably
 keen on this particular change) to prepare the patch and respond to
 feedback until agreement is reached. Applying the proposer's patch is then
 trivial.  That doesn't make the proposer the de-facto maintainer, because
 they don't make the decision and there will likely be a different proposer
 for the next patch.  It's not perfect, but it generally works well.
