New CLC proposal process

That sounds rather disappointing to me.

So what has been done to reboot the CLC is:

1. add more people and 
2. narrow the scope and offload ecosystem issues to the Haskell
   Foundation?

I've been trying to get input from the CLC for the past year on an issue
that affects potentially all of core libraries and I don't think it's feasible
to contact all of the maintainers isolated.

Does that mean CLC won't assist me in contacting core library
maintainers and moderating a discussion?
