The committees are a relic maintained by inertia because Haskell was always a design by committee language since the beginning.
People still propose things, the issue is that proposals should have a viable implementation to figure out if it should go or not, otherways you end up with OverloadedRecordUpdate, a half baked accepted effort with no end of sight because it's not trivial to solve without giving up half of the proposal objectives or shitting all over compilation times, compiler complexity and overall performance.
