I agree. Would it not make more sense to start maintaining test-framework
as part of the haskell-pkg-janitors group [0] on github and uploading a new
fixed version ASAP?

Bryan already uploaded a new version (3 versions, actually), which I presume he tested with ghc-HEAD. The maintainer is listed as libraries@. I agree that haskell-pkg-janitors would be more appropriate, but I'm not really sure what the protocol is at this point.

Are there any objections to moving test-framework to haskell-pkg-janitors?
