Why don't we just put Haddock into GHC's repository? It was proposed in a previous discussion in February [1] and it would avoid the bad experience of having it as a submodule while keeping it in sync.
I'm reluctant to keep it in the GHC tree; it really is a separate project with separate maintainership, dependencies, and contributors. That being said, I do agree that the status quo is pretty poor. I was going to suggest managing it with git-subtree instead, but I'm not sure this would be much of an improvement. Cheers, - Ben
