[Haskell-cafe] Hackage checking maintainership of packages

Hi, on another thread there was a suggestion which perhaps went unnoticed by most: ---------- Forwarded message ----------

From: Niklas Hambüchen Date: 2013/5/4 ... I would even be happy with newhackage sending every package maintainer a quarterly question "Would you still call your project X 'maintained'?" for each package they maintain; Hackage could really give us better indications concerning this.

This sounds to me like a very good idea. It could be as simple as "If you consider yourself to be the maintainer of package X please just hit reply and send." If Hackage doesn't get an answer, it'd just would display some red text like "This package seems to be unmaintained since D.M.Y." Best regards, Petr
