Thanks, I've sent an email to the admins.

@Ben, this might have been so in the past, but recent evidence suggests
otherwise.
- I alerted Jacob of the situation over a month ago by email, here is
the log for this:
https://github.com/jacobstanley/unix-compat/issues/63#issuecomment-1386676351
- His profile https://github.com/jacobstanley does not even include an
email address. I had to hunt down an email address by searching the web
for possible matches.
Because unix-compat is quite important for the Haskell ecosystem and (is
already not maintained by the original authors), I think we should find
a solution quickly and move on with the package takeover.
It is anyway good if important packages have co-maintainers that can
fill the gap should the current maintainer be unavailable for a longer
period of time.
@Mitchell: I think the waiting time has now passed and you can contact
the Hackage admins to add you to the maintainers of unix-compat on Hackage.
Cheers,
Andreas
