Hi,
Last summer, as part of the Summer of Code, David Lazar formalized a
significant portion of Haskell 98 in the K framework. You can find the
code here:
https://github.com/davidlazar/haskell-semantics
And there's a talk about it here:
http://corp.galois.com/blog/2012/1/12/new-tech-talk-video-formalizing-haskel...
I think David is working from essentially the same goals you have in mind.

Dear Haskell Cafe
I'm looking for information on past and current attempts to write semantics for Haskell. Features I'm particularly interested in are:
formal mechanised maintainable up to date
Of course, if nothing like that exists then partial attempts towards it could still be useful.
My ultimate aims include:
Make it viable to define Haskell formally (i.e. so mechanised semantics can take over the normative role of the Haskell reports). Write a verified (or verify an existing) Haskell compiler (where verified means semantics preserving).
Cheers, Ramana
