The 'encoding' package maintainer?

Hello, I am looking for the maintainer of the 'encoding' library. I tried to use it for my little project, but it turned out that it has some issues and needs some love. So I've made a few fixes and it now works reasonably well. I thought the community will benefit if the new version is made available. I've tried to contact the author listed in the .cabal file but had no luck. So I thought I'd ask for help here. Cheers, Boris Kropivnitsky
