well if I was a maintainer, I might be afflicted by a sort of modesty, 
and I think a couple other Haskell people can feel that too when their 
users are saying "we like this".  Of course it's good to make sure that 
we(haskell-platform people) have maintainer's active consent, by 
requiring them to "propose" it.  I wonder if I can come up with a 
wording that makes me happy (since I think we agree on the actual 
*procedure* we should have) -- probably not really important
