Is that what others feel, or are you all happy? My proposal would be to form a Library Tsars committee, that * Takes ownership of the "GHC HQ" libraries * Also owns any global library issues; ones that can't be resolved by a single maintainer

Like any maintainer the Library Tsars would be expected to follow the guidance on the wiki http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submissions#Guidance_for_maintain... (responsiveness, consultation, etc). But they could actually decide things.

+1 The library Tsars should have some 'executive' capabilities, i.e., some resources to actually implement small to medium changes which they approve. Of course, implementation can be delegated, but the Tsars should be a driving force. -- Andreas Abel <>< Du bist der geliebte Mensch.
