The fgl library is in bad need of a maintainer
According to the cabal file, Martin Erwig is the maintainer. For an old, stablish package he's pushed patches reasonably recently (Feb 2008).
Both of you are right. I am not working actively on further FGL developments. Every now and then I receive new implementations or bug fixes, and also, of course, feature requests. I try to accommodate requests as much as possible, although I have refused requests for more radical restructuring (mostly because it would break existing code).
So if there is an individual or a group of people who would like to "adopt" the FGL, that would be in principle fine with me. I don't know where the right place for such a discussion would be.
libraries@ or haskell@ and HWN are the places that make sense to ask for maintainer volunteers IMO. In the mean time, if you don't have time to deal with submitted patches etc at the moment then you could set the maintainer to be libraries@haskell.org. Thanks Ian
