Hi Anselm,

Welcome!

A good way of getting used to a list like this one is to wait a little while 
and observe what kind of messages others send; this will give you a feel for 
how the list is used. If you're impatient, you can also check out the archives 
at https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/.

As for a feature request: if your feature changes the language GHC accepts 
(most do), the right place to post is at 
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals. There is a description of how 
to proceed on that page. Proposals submitted there get debated within the 
community and then eventually sent to a GHC Steering Committee for a vote on 
acceptance or rejection. Then, we worry about implementing it. If you have a 
suggestion that does not change the language GHC accepts, you can post an Issue 
at https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/.

I hope this is helpful!
Richard
