It's also worth mentioning that Hackage 2 has a nice "multiple maintainers" functionality, see for example this: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tasty/maintainers/ It's not a very visible feature though, the package page doesn't like it and it's not visible how many maintainers a package has (where having more than one could be a good quality metric that maybe should be advertised). How about automatically bothering single maintainers with a "do you not want to add another maintainer on Hackage" email once they exceed some popularity threshold? As an example, the "6289 downloads in last 30 days" would make a nice popularity indicator. On 09/05/14 18:05, Niklas Hambüchen wrote:

You do raise a good point, should taking over maintainership of a library adhere to PVP expectations?
I don't think so - taking over maintainership should be a last resort in my opinion.
Having backup maintainers becoming common seems a better solution. _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries
