intent to enable 2fa requirement for github.com/haskell org

[Carter Schonwald]

Awesome!

After talking with several folks, feedback has been that best practices are
to make sure the notice is a week before hand.

So what I’ll do is personally reach out to those who aren’t 2fa enabled in
the Haskell gh org (and haven’t commented on this thread )and ask them to
enable 2fa on their GitHub account. Perhaps I should attach a 2fa options
explainer !

I’ll look at folks responses and if everyone active has made the switch
over, I’ll look to do a transition next Monday or Tuesday.


Be well! (Nyc and many other places are pretty strange right now :/ )
