Can I point out it's not only ghc developers who make
proposals. I'd rather you post this idea more widely.
As a datapoint, I found ghc-users and the café just fine
for those discussions.
Ghc-users seems to have very low traffic/is rather wasted
currently.
And I believe a lot of people pre-discuss on reddit.
For ideas that have been on the back burner for a long time,
there's often wiki pages. (For example re Quantified
Constraints.)

proposal.
I'm not against that. There gets to be a lot of cruft on
some discussions about proposals, so I'd expect we could
archive it all once a proposal is more formalised.
