Well, you can go to the history of the file, and from there to the first commit ("Rename proposal file"), and from there you'll see a link to the pull request in the blue box next to the name of the branch (the link looks like "#32" in this case). But really, I wouldn't recommend sending the

I don't think there is a way to go from the rendered proposal to the pull request, other than the "back" button in your browser. Seriously? But the rendered proposal is the useful link to send to people. There _must_ be a way, even if its indirect. Simon From: Simon Marlow

I don't think there is a way to go from the rendered proposal to the pull request, other than the "back" button in your browser. The constraint-vs-type proposal seems a little bit weird in that it actually has a branch in the ghc-proposals repository itself, rather than being a pull request from

Once I am looking the rendered form of a GHC proposal, eg https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/rae/constraint-vs-type/proposals/-constraint-vs-type.rst how can I find my way to the “conversation” for that proposal, so I can comment on it?

With regards to the other two points that Ben made. I solicited the opinion of a few people when I first made the prototype and the reaction was that it didn't matter to them. We should really make this decision based on the opinions of people who are high utilisers of the tracker. The experience

To first reply to the one specific reoccurring point about custom fields. The problem with 'os' and 'architecture' is a philosophical one, in what way are they any different to any other metadata for a ticket? I am of the opinion that we should only include information when it is relevant, a lot
