Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
While for several years Mateusz Kowalczyk and Simon Hengel have done an<br>
admirable job in serving as comaintainers of the Haddock documentation<br>
tool, they have both indicated that they no longer have the time to<br>
continue to be active in this role. They both deserve our thanks for<br>
their service.<br>
<br>
While Matthew Pickering and I have tried to pick up some of the<br>
Haddock's maintenance load in the meantime, we really need a dedicated<br>
maintainer to ensure that Haddock continues to swim along healthfully.<br>
At the moment there are over 150 open tickets in the issue tracker [1],<br>
an open call for a stable release, and 4 patches in need of review. We<br>
currently lack the time to get on top of such a load.<br>
<br>
In particular, Haddock need someone to take ownership of the management<br>
of the project: this person would keep an eye on (and preferably pare<br>
down) the issue tracker (which typically isn't very active, happily),<br>
guide new contributors, and manage releases. This is an opportunity to<br>
drive forward a project used on a daily basis by a significant fraction<br>
of Haskellers.<br>
<br>
If you think you might be interested in serving in this role, please let<br>
us know. Thanks!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
- Ben<br>
