Message-ID: <0efe7fb1-69ac-ab77-d0a3-5dbf5c0d6599@chalmers.se>

Hi Agda developers,

I think we should designate a maintainer for the std-lib, to get the 
pull requests merged.

It should someone with some genuine interest in the library, with a good 
taste, fairly conservative and responsible.

The library should be developed in a backwards-compatible way, without 
big revolutions, but with continuity in mind.

What do you think?

Best,
Andreas

Absolutely. I nominate @MathewDaggit.

Agreed. Aggressively designating reviewers and having a document
spelling out the guidelines [1] might also speed up the process.
Quite a lot of PRs are small enough that they can be reviewed in
less than a quarter of an hour and they end up in limbo mostly
because no one feels they have to / can say yes/no.

[1] I'd assume:
- Check it compiles with master (the travis builds are still broken)
- Check it's backwards compatible (is the fact that the
  export list is a superset of the previous one sufficient?)
- Naming conventions?

I also think we should ask him.

Wrt to the naming convertions, I suggest:

* uppercase camel-case for modules and types
* lowercase camel-case for functions
* lowercase separate-with-dashes for proofs

Mimic the current style of the library.

Try to reuse analogous names from the Haskell world as much as possible.
