<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am a Haskell software developer and I use some packages
maintained by Adjoint Inc from Hackage. Specifically, I am
interested in 3 packages:</p>
<p>• <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/elliptic-curve">elliptic-curve</a></p>
<p>• <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pairing">pairing</a></p>
<p>• <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/galois-field">galois-field</a><br>
</p>
<p>Latest versions of these packages have upper bound restrictions
on their dependencies which do not allow to build them with latest
versions available on Hackage. For two packages these restrictions
are already updated in the source repos on GitHub, they just need
to be updated on Hackage. For the third one I opened a <a
href="https://github.com/adjoint-io/galois-field/pull/32">PR</a>
on GitHub.<br>
</p>
<p>I opened an <a
href="https://github.com/adjoint-io/elliptic-curve/issues/21">issue</a>
about updating elliptic-curve and <a
href="https://github.com/adjoint-io/pairing/issues/21">commented</a>
another one about pairing. Unfortunately, both issues were closed
even though Hackage versions were not updated. My PR wasn't
closed, but apparently I was banned or something because now I
can't write comments there.</p>
<p>Since I was unable to get any information on GitHub, I tried to
contact the maintainer by email (<a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:info@adjoint.io">info@adjoint.io</a>)
written in the "maintainer" field in all 3 packages, saying that I
can make all the updated myself if they give me permission.
Unfortunately, this email address doesn't seem to work because I
got "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" in response.</p>
<p>So it looks like these packages are effectively unmaintained, but
require some maintenance. I found the "<a
href="https://wiki.haskell.org/Taking_over_a_package">Taking
over a package</a>" page which is exactly about my case. I think
I am in the situation where I cannot contact the
author/maintainer, that's why I am writing to Haskell Cafe. I
can't CC the maintainer (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:info@adjoint.io">info@adjoint.io</a>) because the
address simply doesn't exist. If anybody on the mailing list can
reach out to Adjoint, please do that, I'll be very thankful.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
Ivan
