I'm curious as to why you took this tack, and feel disrespected when `tomland` is the go-to TOML library in Haskell, and as you say, has been recognized outside of the community by the TOML org itself.
I understand your irritation at Tom derailing your request into a discussion about all kinds of unrelated things. (I'm irritated myself how he's emphasizing his feelings in so many of his messages; it's not an irrelevant topic but he has made his feelings clear enough, and the focus should be on other things as well.) However, since you state that the existing packages do not meet your needs and want to restructure the code, maybe taking over Tom's package(s) isn't a good idea anyway - restructuring tends to affect the public API, and library users would have reason to object to that. You already have the code - nothing prevents you from taking it and adapting it to your needs. And you don't need the name. Either your library is getting enough traction that it will be mentioned, and then search engines will find it regardless of its name; or your library will end being useful mainly for yourself, and then the name doesn't matter.
