There's this:
http://scheme-reports.org/2012/process1.html
However it seems (?) we're a bit late, at least for the 6th draft
revision of R7RS: http://www.scheme-reports.org/2012/call1.html has
"The comment period is now open and will continue until June 30,
2012."
Probably (more likely?) they're more interested in stuff that has been SRFI'ed.
You know, I think it might be better to have separate SRFI's for the
different levels: an SRFI for c-expressions, an SRFI for
n-expressions, and an SRFI for t-expressions.
