Yes, I think, this is an improvement. Cheers, Manuel

Hi,

based on this discussion I am making a concrete proposal here:

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/221

The main idea is that if the shepherd intends to reject the proposal, they have to first discuss this with the authors, to give the authors a chance to respond, tweak, or point out misunderstandings in the shepherd’s perception.

So the process of accepting proposals is unchanged, and still on the list, rejecting a proposal is now a two step process: the shepherd discusses it with the authors on GitHub (and anyone else interested, of course), and then there is a shorter discussion on the mailinglist, with hopefully all facts clarified.

This does not move all discussion to Github yet, so it is the smaller change, in a way. But of course committee members are encouraged to join GitHub discussions early, especially if they are unhappy with a proposal.

Cheers, Joachim
