very good. I, for one, would be interested in having access to AUR.
There are a few PKGBUILDs I'd like to update -- most importantly
haskell-convertible-text.

I tried to join that organization on Github, but I couldn't figure out
how to do it in the web front-end. Am I missing something? Or do you
have to add users to the organization? If that's the case, my user name
on Github is 'peti'.

In the current stage of the project, I believe that everyone who is
interested in maintaining Haskell packages on AUR should have the
ability to do that. We can be more selective once we're overrun with
volunteers.

I left a comment on haskell-convertible-text moments ago. It appears
that it didn't get through. Who has access to the mailing list server
configuration? Did Don share those passwords as well? I would assume
that the message is being held up in some kind of moderation queue.

Take care,
