Subscribing haskell-community is extremely useful and exciting! One can:
    1. cast their vote on this particular issue
    2. express their opinion in 'longhand' (which could be very useful
       towards reaching consensus)
    3. get engaged with other persons (which could be useful for 2.
       or general "see what other people are thinking" benefit)
    4. keep in touch with what the committee is discussing and contribute
       with his/her ideas even in the future

A Google Form, as convenient as it is, doesn't allow/encourage 2.,
3. and 4. (plus it seems to require a Google account, which I don't have).

To the folks out there: join the fun! Haskell-community was created
with this spirit in mind [1] (as this request for comments/votes show!)
and subscribing to this mailing list is one way to contribute to the
community we all love being part of.
