Hi Mateusz,
Sounds good. I don't think Max is active anymore [1] and many of his
other packages have been taken over in the past years. Also given that
Roman also stated his intention to take over the package more than a
year ago, I think it's no problem to transfer maintainership to you on
Monday (even though the normal term is at least 2-6 weeks). It also
seems that this is not blocking the move back to temporary, since
there's currently no difference between the two packages.
I've created an issue on the hackage trustee tracker [2] to track the takeover.
Regards,
Erik

Hi,
I'm looking to take over the ‘temporary’ package. This is to address the issue of any patches/fixes into ‘temporary’ not being merged in a timely manner[1]. This caused Roman Cheplyaka to create a fork package, ‘temporary-rc’. It's less than ideal to have some packages use temporary and others use temporary-rc (PackageImports needed…) so this is in attempt to bring back temporary as the one true package to use here and let the fork fall into obscurity, preferably deprecated.
The main user of temporary-rc is the popular tasty package which is Roman's. If me/him/us both/someone (reliable/available) can take over temporary, he seems to be willing to go back to using that instead of the fork[2].
CCing the current maintainer. I think until Monday (27th) is a fair notice though I point out more time elapsed on [1] without a reply.
