Package takeover: indents
The indents [1] package provides a very simple way to create indentation-aware parsers with Parsec. Unfortunately, it does not compose very well (the user cannot use a custom monad anymore), and there are several bugs in it, for example this pretty bad one [2]. I have patches that has been running in production at Fugue [3] for over a year which fixes all of these issues, while keeping a fully compatible API. I have tried contacting the author (CC'ed) over a year ago (June 2015) but I haven't received a response. The latest package upload is from May, 2012. I would like to take over this package so I can share the fixes. [1]: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/indents [2]: http://lpaste.net/344393 [3]: https://fugue.co/ Regards, Jasper
Yes please! I think I'd actually like to use that package.

There is a different email address (CC'ed) on github for a person with the same name as the author of that package. Github shows that person to be an active member of the Haskell community. So if that's the author, it's probably a case of an abandoned email address, not an abandoned package. Let's wait a bit to see if there is a response. Thanks, Yitz

I did receive a response:
I have not updated that package or checked that email in quite some time. I would be quite happy to give away ownership of the indents package, as I have no intention of maintaining it, and haven't updated it years. I am not subscribed to the Haskell Cafe mailing list, but I'll check out the thread.

Thank you for relaying that. In that case, I will take over the
package soon to fix the issues.
Kind regards,
Jasper
