Hi all, I need new maintainers for my packages hslua[1] and language-lua[2]. None of these packages is super popular so it's not going to be a lot of work. I just need someone to take care of new issues and pull requests. + points if the maintainer is a user of the library :-) I just don't have time and motivation to maintain those as I'm not a user anymore. Some background, lanugage-lua was the first Haskell program I've written (according to git logs, 3 years 6 months ago). I maintained it over the years and used in some projects. Currently Eric Mertens (glguy) is also a maintainer who occasionally sends some patches, but I need someone to take care of the new issues and pull requests. One thing you may want to do is to merge Eric's patch that ports the parser to Happy (currently it's Parsec) and improves the performance significantly. hslua was originally written by Gracjan Polak. I was using it and sending some patches and eventually I became the maintainer, created a Git repo, wrote some blogs posts about it, wrote tests and examples etc. I think the library is in good shape. One thing you may want to do if you take over the maintainership might be to port it to Lua 5.3 and drop the LuaJIT support. Every once in a while someone asks for it, there's even a pull request that is in bad shape that makes it working with 5.3. There's also another feature request for handling memory exhaustion in the interpreter. If you're interested in maintaining any of these please reply to this thread or send me a mail. Thanks. --- [1]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hslua [2]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/language-lua
