meta/proposal: Proposal review updates

[ethanjli]

The proposal review group meets regularly (roughly weekly) to review pending proposal issues and move them along in the proposal process. The status of proposals is tracked in our GitHub Projects board for proposals (note: I'm trying to get this projects board to be publicly viewable, but I don't have the appropriate permissions to do this, so I need to get @tpollina to do this; he's currently too busy to do this until January).

Review consists primarily of checking that discussion is ongoing, commenting on issues to move discussion along, summarizing long discussions, CC’ing experts, and accepting or closing proposals when the discussion on the GitHub issue has reached a clear consensus about the outcome.

Review also includes closing proposals that are untenable (for example, because the changes violate key design goals of the project).

This meta-issue records outcomes of the proposal review meetings as issue comments, so that they can be cross-linked easily with the relevant issues. (This meta-issue is to record outcomes only; comments that are not meeting minutes will be deleted.)
