Unfortunately, I think there's only one person whose _part time_ job is to maintain Hugs - and that person was on vacation in the last few weeks. [Also, I think the money funding Hugs maintenance is due to run out soon.] The rest is all up to individual volunteers and companies like Galois Connections (who are sending a steady trickle of bugfixes into both Hugs and GHC). Maybe we need someone to setup a suitable bugtracking system? GHC's use of sourceforge looks ok - except that half their bug reports still seem to arrive as mail messages instead of as properly filled in bug report forms. Here at Utah, my project uses gnat but I got the impression that setting it up was a bit time consuming since its default configuration was for a different style of organisation from ours.

Alastair, It's good to know someone is doing something with reported bugs. toUpper being in the wrong library is a minor annoyance so it doesn't sound like the effort of fixing it is worth it. The other bug about not behaving properly for i with a circumflex is more serious and I hope will be fixed.

I'd like to suggest that someone acknowledges receipt of bugs even if it's just to say no-one has time to fix it at the moment but it's been put in a list of things to fix and won't get forgotten about.
