I would like to take over `bitvec` package (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/bitvec).

Unfortunately, the source code has not been updated for years and the test suite does not build nowadays. There are also known issues. I have prepared patches and tried to reach its maintainer James Cook (cced) by email, but have not heard back.

If you do (good luck!), I hope you might find a bit of time for less terse documentation, adding some expository text about the module in general above the brief per-function descriptions, and ideally a few code snippets illustrating usage. Many a library, and I think this one among them, has documentation that is much too anaemic. -- Viktor.
