I was always under the impression that +1/-1 was just a quick indicator of opinion, not a vote, and that it was the core libraries committee that would make the final call if enough consensus was reached to enact the change.

I'd like to point out, that the core libraries committee ought to continue to do so (as hinted at in [1]) in its function as a Haskell Prime sub-Committee (c.f. sub-teams in the Rust community[2]). While there will be surely overlap of interests, contributions, cross-reviewing and discussion, the principal task and responsibility of the new sought members is to concentrate on the language part of the Haskell Report where quite a bit of work is awaiting them.
