Is protocol-buffers package maintainer reachable?

Hello Cafe! I am using protocol-buffers and hprotoc packages but they fail to compile with recent GHC due to trivial errors. Hackage names Christopher Edward Kuklewicz as their maintainer. I've sent him patches more than a month ago but neiter they were applied nor I got any response. It's quite inconvenient to keep patched versions all the time. Does anybody know if he is still interested in maintaining those packages? Is it possible to contact him? And what should I do if he is unreachable? Thanks!

I've too tried to contact him almost year ago about same issue. Never got an answer.

FWIW, I didn't have any issues getting in touch with him a year ago (from Oct 2010 through 21 March 2011, according to my email record). Though I haven't tried since then. Like Johan Tibell, I'm interested in the maintenance of these packages since I'm using them for a project; though I don't know that I could contribute anything more than a context for regression debugging. -- Live well, ~wren

And what should I do if he is unreachable?
My feeling is that if you are willing to take it on, you should ask this list if anybody objects to your taking over the maintainership, and if they do not, take it over (on Hackage, this just means uploading a new version of the package). --Max

If Chris is indeed out of the loop we should find a new maintainer. Mark and I are also interested in the future of protocol buffers in Haskell. -- Johan

For what it's worth, I think he is active on stackoverflow.

I'm not sure about being a maintainer - I don't even know how those
packages work and have no experience in preparing package for hackage.
But fixes are really trivial - maybe I'll just upload patched versions
if it is possible?
Is it possible to contact StackOverflow user?
