I've thought about this a bit more, and decided that it's fine to have
proposed ADRs in the repo. I was concerned about the in-between state
an ADR could find itself in when it's been submitted but I haven't
applied the patch yet, but having thought about it more, I don't think
having a stage of "being accepted for discussion" is a bad thing.
