So the question is: how should future development continue? I see three choices:
1. Continue as-is. New modules can be added to these two packages, and I'll just route inquiries to the appropriate person. One minor change I'll insist on here is that authors specify in the module docs who the maintainer is, and I'll add them as contributors on Github. 2. No new modules will be accepted into these packages, they'll need to go into their own packages. 3. Even existing modules for which I'm not really the maintainer will be split off into their own packages.
For options (2) and (3), we can update the docs for authenticate and yesod-auth to point to external packages that provide additional auth backends.
I don't have any strong opinions, but I'd say (3). Note that yesod-auth could become a "meta"-package like the yesod package itself. Cheers, -- Felipe.
