I'm happy to help with it, but I'll need some outside help as well so I get the 
technical details and justifications correct and can defend them when 
presenting to the committee. If someone could put together a super rough draft 
of what changes we'd like to see and why, I can definitely work with them to 
polish it into a final document, get it to the committee, and champion it 
there. Related question though: what do we do if the committee rejects the DR? 
I think LLVM and Clang have slightly different pressures here, so we might have 
different answers.

FWIW, you can find more info here about how to communicate with WG14:
