[Haskell-cafe] Hackage 2 maintainership

[Krzysztof Skrzętnicki]

Hi,

Are there any news how things are going? What remains there to be done to
get us to Hackage 2?

I found this list of tickets:
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues?labels=hackage2&page=1&state=open

Is there anything more to be done?

Best regards,
Krzysztof Skrzętnicki
