[Haskell-cafe] Taking over maintenance of int-cast package

I intend to take over int-cast 
(https://hackage.haskell.org/package/int-cast) package.

I think it implements a reasonable approach to ensuring compile-time 
safety of integer casts, and it would be sad to see it silently fall 
into obscurity due to the lack of maintenance.

This was discussed on GitHub 
(https://github.com/haskell-hvr/int-cast/issues/5#issuecomment-1620402453) 
since July 4, 2023, and I tried reaching @hvr via e-mail on July 5. 
Didn't receive a reply at the time of writing, and it seems unlikely I 
will anytime soon, hence moving on with the takeover process.
