Are you yourself the maintainer? Do they know you plan to do this work and do they support it? Please tell us more about how you obtained their support and how you plan to work together to make sure your contributions are accepted."<br><br>For what it's worth my thought is that we'd use the external command functionality that I've seen you've contributed to at <a href="https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9063" target="_blank">https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9063</a> to at least initially build this out and then perhaps work to get it merged or not.<br><br>Finally, I'd love to hear if you have thoughts on accurately representing cabal for the questions:<br><br>"How are decisions regarding this technology's development made? Please describe the project's governance model."<br><br>and<br><br>"How does this project handle security risks? Are there policies, procedures, or tools in place to minimize the introduction of vulnerabilities or undesired contributions?"<br clear="all"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks so much for your time!</div><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Trevis Elser | Chair Stability Working Group | Software Engineer</div><div><img src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4xddractL7fn92Ew1eMrkeAFoLfZg-EJc-Y-lzd6IVGpdd-Q2-vhZlwv6VPy1a7vYtcOpXxEIo" width="200" height="58"><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
