Proposals and owners

[Simon Marlow]

As a reminder, here is the provisional list for 2010:

 > ForeignFunctionInterface
 > LineCommentSyntax
 > PatternGuards
 > DoAndIfThenElse
 > Remove n+k patterns
 > RelaxedDependencyAnalysis
 > EmptyDataDeclarations
 > HierarchicalModules
 > NonDecreasingIndentation
 > remove FixityResolution from the context-free grammar
 > change the syntax of QualifiedOperators

These have already been done, so don't really need owners:

 > LineCommentSyntax
 > DoAndIfThenElse
 > PatternGuards

I plan to take ownership of the following:

 > HierarchicalModules
 > change the syntax of QualifiedOperators
 > remove FixityResolution from the context-free grammar

That leaves the following proposals needing owners:

 > ForeignFunctionInterface
 > Remove n+k patterns
 > RelaxedDependencyAnalysis
 > EmptyDataDeclarations
 > NonDecreasingIndentation

Volunteers please!

Cheers,
	Simon
