I just noticed that the latest version of hoopl (shipped with 7.6.3) is not on Hackage. Is there a reason for this (other than oversight)? / Thomas
relatedly: is norman ramsey (pro)actively maintaining it?
based upon remarks on #ghc earlier today, it sounded like a number of
people have warts/wishes about how to improve hoopl or make it nicer if
they could. (or at least that was my take away from their remarks, i'll
leave them to clarify further)

I’m copying Norman so that he can speak for himself. Indeed the hoopl.cabal file lists him as the Maintainer.
But I believe that he is not *actively* working on Hoopl, and would be content for others to contribute to it (ideas, patches). Norman?

No I think it's just oversight.

Right - I made a lot of changes while working on the new codegen. Norman signed off on them (in principle at least) so it should be fine to upload the package. I should admit I did very limited testing outside of GHC's use case, and GHC even contains a copy of some of the hoopl code with its own specialisations (the core dataflow algorithm in particular).
