Erik,
Adam assigned this to you on 26 June, and usually we'd expect a
recommendation from the shepherd within a week, or two at most. But I
don't think we've heard from you.
Could you drive us towards a timely conclusion? I don't this this is a
controversial one.
Thanks!

In a blizzard of email, we may not all remember that you are the
shepherd. It's helpful to say something like
Dear GHC Steering Committee
I am the shepherd for
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/652
https://github.com/gergoerdi/ghc-proposals/blob/mu/import-shadowing/proposal...
In it, Gergo proposes to allow local binders to shadow names defined in
outer scopes.
[In a more complicated proposal you might like to say a bit more, and why
you like it; but this one is fairly simple.]
I recommend acceptance of the proposal as-is. Please respond by Weds 7th
August.
This reminds us (a) that you are speaking as the shepherd, (b) gives us a
date to respond by, (c) conveys a clear recommendation. (Of course choose
your own date.)
As shepherd you will remind us near your deadline, and guide us to a
conclusion.
All of this is general guidance for all shepherds! I'm just using you as
an example .. I hope you don't mind.

For the record, I've read this proposal and am in favour. Not strongly, but it feels like the proposed behaviour is a small improvement over the current one (it's not infrequent that we define a name locally, not realising that it exists in some of the imports, and find that we have to go add `hiding` clauses and whatnots, shadowing in this case feels like a better default).

I expressed that I'm in support. Like Adam, I think this could be a big deal in terms of forward compat if we subsequently add -XImportShadowing to the set of GHC's default extensions (perhaps even in Haskell2010). (That is: I would be in favour of such a subsequent proposal as well.) Am Mo., 12. Aug. 2024 um 09:31 Uhr schrieb Arnaud Spiwack < arnaud.spiwack@tweag.io>:

Another two weeks has passed. Can you push the committee towards a
decision? As shepherd that is your role.
You may find the spreadsheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e6GdwHmAjeDEUhTvP-b18MDkpTfH3SMHhFu5...helpful
to record votes.
If particular committee members are unresponsive, address them by name,
cc'ing me.
We owe it to our proposers to make decisions. Thanks!

I'm in support. As I mentioned in the github thread, I'm not a huge fan of (using) shadowing, but I think it makes sense to be consistent about whether we allow it or not, and I can certainly see myself using this for prototyping or small scripts.

This proposal seems totally reasonable. I have marked it as "under review" and added a "Pending committee review" label.
Cheers, Erik

Erik,
Adam assigned this to you on 26 June, and usually we'd expect a recommendation from the shepherd within a week, or two at most. But I don't think we've heard from you.
Could you drive us towards a timely conclusion? I don't this this is a controversial one.
Thanks!

Another two weeks has passed. Can you push the committee towards a decision? As shepherd that is your role.
You may find the spreadsheet < https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e6GdwHmAjeDEUhTvP-b18MDkpTfH3SMHhFu5... helpful to record votes.
If particular committee members are unresponsive, address them by name, cc'ing me.
We owe it to our proposers to make decisions. Thanks!
