Hello Hiromi, First of all my condolences, I did not know the Muranushi had died. For me, the concern is that the package currently doesn't build, yet the company I work for depends on it. I don't particularly mind anyone else taking over maintainership. And if some of his family wants to do that, I'd be happy as well. As long as the issue gets fixed. However, since the company I work for is quite happy to support opensource projects I think it makes a lot of sense for me to take over maintainership. In any case, this particular work of Muranushi would live on. Which hopefully remedies opening this old wound at least a bit.

The case of a sadly deceased maintainer should be handled just like the case for a non-responsive maintainer—the Hackage trustees should be asked to allow Jappie to take over the package.

Hi Jappie,

It is really sad, but I want to note that Muranushi-san, the original author of the package, deceased several years ago [1]. I lament for his prominent talent.

I cannot see the procedure in the case maintainer is known to be deceased in Wiki page [2]. I think replacing *maintainer* with *bereaved family of maintainer* makes sense, but I'm not sure.

With regards,

Hi,

I wish to take over the maintainership of the binary search package. The company I work for (riskbook) currently uses binary search. However the current version doesn't build from hackage because ghc changed how setting files are used, so I made a PR simply deleting that: https://github.com/nushio3/binary-search/pull/3 That has been several months ago and now I'm running against the same issue.

There hasn't been a from the author (nushio3), and the email address CC'ed in here are full according to gmail.

With regards,
