* User fixes a package, emails the maintainer. * No response: User emails trustees. * Trustees check the above conditions, and upload the new version.
* Attacker "fixes the package", emails the maintainer with a typo in the email address (if the package is really unmaintained and the maintainer is unreachable this typo trick is not even necessary) * No response: attacker emails trustees * Attacker provides a github repository where the last commit is nice, but the attack is in previous commits that are converted from darcs to git(hub) Of course I'd never attack my beloved Haskell community, but I also don't believe in snake-oil processes.
