zstd package. Proposal to take over maintenance

Hi everyone, The zstd package contains important bugs (it produces malformed output in some cases) and seems unmaintained. I would like to take over maintenance of it. I have actually forked the package and fixed the bugs, releasing it as hs-zstd: https://github.com/luispedro/hs-zstd http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hs-zstd I was advised to consider taking over maintenance of zstd as an earlier attempt to contact the maintainers of zstd was not answered. I would still prefer not to have this responsibility, but I would also like to use zstd in my work. * The zstd issues are not obvious because 99% of the time it works well, so we actually used it in a release of ngless, but after 3 days in the wild, we had to release a "bugfix". This is because most code paths work well, but there is one which produces a broken file. http://ngless.embl.de/whatsnew.html#version-0-11 Thanks, Luis Luis Pedro Coelho | Fudan University | http://luispedro.org https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9280-7885
