To ease my maintenance burden, I've moved the network package repo to:
  http://github.com/haskell/network
Patches are accepted either in the git mbox format, as normal (diff) patch files, or as GitHub pull requests.
P.S. If you want to get added to the haskell GitHub organization, just drop me an email.
Ah, the use of github is spreading :-)
If I, as the developer of the FOO Haskell package, want to move to use github, can I get a source repo under that organisation as well? I'm asking since I am considering taking some of my packages from patch-tag to github (it's really github I want, it's unfortunate that it also means I'll have to leave darcs), it would then be nice to have those repos as a part of the haskell organisation.
Similarly, what's the remit of the Haskell organization on github? Is the intention to be an umbrella for any haskell package, or more restricted? I have the same question as Magnus (although in my case I took over something on github; if I could move to darcs and preserve history I would). John

See my reply to Magnus. I don't think it's scalable to put every Hackage package under one organization (and I don't think we gain much from doing so.) For now I think we should reserve the organization for core packages (i.e. HP packages.) For converting a repo and preserve history, see http://www.serpentine.com/blog/2010/10/21/how-to-migrate-from-darcs-to-mercu... Johan
