Dear Committee, let’s do another ~bi~trimonthly status update. There was an uptick in submissions recently, and our backlog is on the large side; it looks like almost everyone So what has happened since the last one? * Baldur has stepped down, Arnaud has renewed their term and Adam Gundy joined. Thanks all! * I started a discussion on whether we should have GHC2021. I sense some hesitation, but not enough yet to discourage me, so I stated to draft a proposal at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/559 and you are all invited to nominate those extensions you’d like to be on by default in the future. * we were asked to review these proposals: #532: Clean up implicit binding, Shepherd: Arnaud #512: NoFieldSelectors as datatype annotation, Shepherd: Vlad #526: Applicative Comprehensions, Shepherd: Simon M #540: parallelism semaphores, Shepherd: Eric #547: Remove kind constraints, Shepherd: Arnaud #529: Template Haskell quotes as patterns, Shepherd: Adam #451: WARNING pragma with category, Shepherd: Joachim #546: Make Symbol a newtype over String, Shepherd: Chris #556: fix signature scoping #448, Shepherd: Richard * we have a recommendation from the shepherd about: #522: Or patterns.
