Good day. Recently, in irc://#haskell you can see very often replicas of people, who are tired of waiting their hackage accounts.

Because it's really strange to see some "still don't have my hackage account"-message and another Ross answer in HC. 2) You should give hackage account for all of ther requiring people or remove hackagebot from #haskell. 3) Could I finally have my hackage account in the amount of all others, please?

Good day.
Recently, in irc://#haskell you can see very often replicas of people, who are tired of waiting their hackage accounts. After next release of any package from hackagebot, some depressed people definitely comes out and starts telling to everybody how hard life is without having hackage account.
Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't realize that it's hard to get a hackage account right now. I'm not sure what I can directly do, but I'll try some things (like contacting Ross, seeing about having a backup contact or automation). I think the right solution is that everyone can get a hackage account. Jason
