Hello,

I am a Haskell software developer and I use some packages maintained by Adjoint Inc from Hackage. Specifically, I am interested in 3 packages:

• elliptic-curve

• pairing

• galois-field

Latest versions of these packages have upper bound restrictions on their dependencies which do not allow to build them with latest versions available on Hackage. For two packages these restrictions are already updated in the source repos on GitHub, they just need to be updated on Hackage. For the third one I opened a PR on GitHub.

I opened an issue about updating elliptic-curve and commented another one about pairing. Unfortunately, both issues were closed even though Hackage versions were not updated. My PR wasn't closed, but apparently I was banned or something because now I can't write comments there.

Since I was unable to get any information on GitHub, I tried to contact the maintainer by email (info@adjoint.io) written in the "maintainer" field in all 3 packages, saying that I can make all the updated myself if they give me permission. Unfortunately, this email address doesn't seem to work because I got "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" in response.

So it looks like these packages are effectively unmaintained, but require some maintenance. I found the "Taking over a package" page which is exactly about my case. I think I am in the situation where I cannot contact the author/maintainer, that's why I am writing to Haskell Cafe. I can't CC the maintainer (info@adjoint.io) because the address simply doesn't exist. If anybody on the mailing list can reach out to Adjoint, please do that, I'll be very thankful.

Best,
