I think the ‘proposal’ option in the repo can be confusing

I use minimal analytics on my site and I was wondering if there is a way to incorporate it to Hugo and define it in the config file?

First, I’m glad that @nfriedli was able to answer your question:
https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/add-minimal-google-analytics-1-5kb-to-hugo/36327/2

Second, the proposal you submitted was a question, more appropriately asked here in the forum.

Finally, sometimes people submit proposals without first determining if the capability already exists, or if it can be easily achieved through configuration/modules. This forum is a pretty good place to ask those questions.
