The Haskell Platform Release Team helps to coordinate the platform release process, mainly by creating a 6-monthly release schedule, and keeping everyone informed about the various stages of that schedule. We work for the developer community, helping everyone to work together and make progress. We try not to get in the way.
Current
- Stable: Haskell Platform 2009.2.0
- Development: 2009.2.1 (dev version leading to next stable release)
The platform itself is maintained as a cabal file, some scripts and tools, and a website: darcs get http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/

The current informal method is to email the libraries list and propose it.
