This seems problematic - people are never really sure if
they're working on a WG2 SRFI or not.  Although I think it's
good to use the SRFI process it should be made clear that
the SRFI is intended for WG2, which should draw a larger
audience.

I propose that for SRFIs intended to be included in WG2
the authors send an introduction message to the
scheme-reports list making it clear it is intended for WG2,
and stating the motivation for including it in the large language.
The default draft period in this case should be extended to
4 months (of course extendible so long as there is active
discussion).  Announcements (including deadline reminders)
for the SRFI should be cc'ed to the scheme-reports list.

This is of course no guarantee that said SRFI will be
accepted in WG2, but it makes the intent clearer and
should increase scrutiny and consequently the
acceptance rate.
