Re: Maintenance of text-icu (Bryan O'Sullivan)

Thanks Simon, for the update! (I hope it is nothing bad.) @Ben: Could you set us up? (And would that include write permissions on bos/text-icu or a new repo?) On 2021-01-11 10:39, Simon Peyton Jones wrote:

Bryan helpfully transferred ownership of

* attoparsec * criterion * statistics * double-conversion * math-functions * aeson * text-icu * mwc-random * wreq * critbit * text-format

Haskell.org (as a holding mechanism) on 8 Dec. This was a holding mechanism while we figure out who the new maintainers should be. Ben Gamari knows about this -- ask him. But I think Bryan is now out of the critical path.
