[Haskell-cafe] xattr takeover

[Deian Stefan]

Hello,

I've been trying to get in touch with the maintainer (CC'd) about
the xattr package for about a month. There are quite a few memory
leaks (among other issues) for which I have a patch (see [1]). I
would like to push the new version to Hackage, but the etiquette
for taking over a package is unclear. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Deian
