I've been trying to get in touch with the maintainer (CC'd) about the xattr package for about a month. There are quite a few memory leaks (among other issues) for which I have a patch (see [1]). I would like to push the new version to Hackage, but the etiquette for taking over a package is unclear. Any suggestions?
If you've made a decent effort, I think you should just upload it with the fix (and again CC the previous author). Nobody benefits from having buggy software out there. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
