No, that's not the situation currently. If we want to extend the role of the platform committee then I think we need to get the appropriate community buy-in. Remember what we told the community when we set up the platform committee: http://haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-July/012139.html I think it's a reasonable idea to assign impartial individuals to help keep track of active proposals and cajole people into following some process, coming to conclusions and finally getting things committed etc. Perhaps we (the committee) can first agree that we'll use the "assign a committee member to each HP proposal" idea and then we propose to the libraries list that we could do the same thing for libraries proposals. However, I think it still needs to be clear that there's no extra decision making power given to the committee members. If there is, then it needs a decision on the libraries list to delegate (and we'd need to worry more about how committee members are selected and cycled etc).
