Generally, you'd make a topic here so that people would discuss it, and eventually a proposal would be written up based on the questions and concerns that arose. Once an implementation is written for the proposal, it's offered for review by the core team, discussed, and merged in if the overall reaction is positive.

All of the libraries designed by Apple, such as (SwiftUI, UIKit, CoreML, etc.) are considered to be standard libraries, right?

No; there is only one “standard library”. It includes all of the functionality you don’t need to `import` (e.g. array, string, dictionary).

Additionally, we have a couple of “core libraries” (e.g. Foundation). You still need to `import` those, but they are part of a standard toolchain and should be present on all systems which support Swift.

Libraries such as SwiftUI, Combine, and UIKit are Apple’s proprietary system libraries. They only exist on Apple systems, and are an intrinsic part of those systems. They are not part of the toolchain.
