But we have to work with existing infrastructure to track that process
of proposal, discussion, and resolution: git repo, wiki, issue
tracker. That's one thing.

Aside: worth noting that github wikis are themselves just git
repositories of markdown files.

The other thing is the actual form of proposals. We have previously
discussed the possibility of them being accompanied by tests.

So anyone have thoughts on how we put this all together?

One possible strawman, for example, is something like:

- setup csl "proposals" project (per Frank's suggestion)
- use the project wiki for the actual proposal text, which maybe is
structured in such a way that upon acceptance, both spec content,
schema diffs, and test suite contribution can be extracted (??)
- proposals tracked and discussed in the issue tracker, with link to wiki page
