Hi all, I'd like to take over maintenance responsibility for the `unix-compat` package. Unfortunately, I've been unable to get in touch with the maintainer. I intend to make a release compatible with `unix-2.8`, and will be around to make subsequent bounds bumps and whatnot. You can find me on GitHub: https://github.com/mitchellwrosen Or Hackage: https://hackage.haskell.org/user/mitchellwrosen Thanks, Mitchell

Hi Mitchell, I made some contributions to unix-compat over the years and found that the current maintainer, while sometimes a bit slow to respond to PRs, is actually quite responsive when prompted via email. (Just a data point, not to suggest you haven't tried that.) Cheers Ben

@Ben, this might have been so in the past, but recent evidence suggests otherwise. - I alerted Jacob of the situation over a month ago by email, here is the log for this: https://github.com/jacobstanley/unix-compat/issues/63#issuecomment-138667635... - His profile https://github.com/jacobstanley does not even include an email address. I had to hunt down an email address by searching the web for possible matches. Because unix-compat is quite important for the Haskell ecosystem and (is already not maintained by the original authors), I think we should find a solution quickly and move on with the package takeover. It is anyway good if important packages have co-maintainers that can fill the gap should the current maintainer be unavailable for a longer period of time. @Mitchell: I think the waiting time has now passed and you can contact the Hackage admins to add you to the maintainers of unix-compat on Hackage. Cheers, Andreas

Fair enough, thanks for the details.

FWIW I completely agree. I am happy to see this package properly maintained. Cheers Ben -- I would rather have questions that cannot be answered, than answers that cannot be questioned. -- Richard Feynman
Thanks, I've sent an email to the admins. On Mon, Feb 20, 2023, 2:14 PM Andreas Abel <andreas.abel@ifi.lmu.de> wrote:

No word from hackage-admin@haskell.org after 13 days. I'm not sure anyone is listening. :/ On Tue, Feb 21, 2023 at 12:05 AM Mitchell Rosen <mitchellwrosen@gmail.com> wrote:

Do we need to update the list of Hackage administrators? I know there's been some turnover in the community in the last couple years. On Mon, 6 Mar 2023 at 18:34, Mitchell Rosen <mitchellwrosen@gmail.com> wrote:
