Hi all, I had also tried recently to contact James Cook regarding maintainership of `gamma` (https://github.com/mokus0/gamma/pull/4) and three years ago about `hs-hdf5` (https://github.com/mokus0/hs-hdf5/issues/4#issuecomment-244511986) but he seldom checks email and github issues it seems. First of all, I hope he is well, and second, I once more volunteer to help with the maintenance of these packages. Best, Marco
Today's Topics:
1. Taking over maintainership of bitvec (Andrew Lelechenko)
I would like to take over `bitvec` package (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/bitvec).
Unfortunately, the source code has not been updated for years and the test suite does not build nowadays. There are also known issues. I have prepared patches and tried to reach its maintainer James Cook (cced) by email, but have not heard back.
There was a takeover of another James' package in October 2018 (https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2018-October/029062.html). In that case James appeared to be out of reach.
-- Best regards, Andrew
