As someone who haven't attended the committee meetings personally, but prepared a proposal with a representative, I can say that even obtaining the results of discussion of your own proposal is difficult.

That's unfortunate; you should be able to get that information from the representative. I can slap^Whelpfully guide them what their job as proposal champions is, if you wish.

No, I didn't mean to complain about the champion. I'm just saying that this information should be easily accessible as an open resource, like a bug tracker or something, rather than asking the champion or a random committee member. And besides, Internet has better memory than most people. :)

It is a very reasonable request to have a public searchable access to the result of review and discussion of a given proposal, if only to be able to learn from it or point to when another person comes up with a similar proposal. It may be difficult to implement, but the demand is there.

It's not a question of implementation difficulty, it's more a question of how visible the comments made in a discussion are. There's a difference in discussing technical matters with an open crowd, and with a less open crowd.

Well, you don't have to discuss it with the crowd. Just making the discussion results public would be helpful already.
