Fellow Haskell Hackers, it appears that Malcolm Wallace has lost interest in maintaining his packages on Hackage. Some of them are rather important dependencies for others, and therefore I'd like to take over maintenance of the following libraries: - cpphs - HaXml - hscolour - polyparse Polyparse, in particular, needs a maintenance update to fix build issues with GHC 8.6.1. The absence of a working release blocks packages like hlint from supporting that compiler [1]. I tried to contact Malcolm on 2018-09-24 via e-mail. Others have also tried to reach him through WhatsApp other channels. Unfortunately, no-one has received a response, which is why we decided to go through with this process. Best regards, Peter [1] https://github.com/haskell-infra/hackage-trustees/issues/186
