Comment(by simonpj):

 I liked your blog post.  Haskell does many things well, but there are
 definitely aspects of the ecosystem (which often get less attention than
 the language itself) that should better.

 I also appreciate that you are willing to roll up your sleeves and help.
 That the only way things are going to happen, in the end.  GHC is too big
 for one or two people to do everything.  So, thank you!

 I'm not at all clear about either the problem, or the solution you
 propose.  A good mechanism is to outline both on a wiki page (a ticket
 isn't such a good place) and discuss on ghc-users or cvs-ghc depending on
 the level of detail.  There are lots of examples of such pages on
 [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary] under "Contributed
 documentation".
