[Haskell-cafe] Take over word24 package on hackage

[Gershom B]

There seems to be some confusion here. John seems to have offered to you the capabilities to do maintenance on his package. He can just add your hackage account as a co-maintainer on hackage without any intervention. The package takeover process is for reassigning orphaned packages from non-responsive/disappeared maintainers. Since you seem to have a correspondence with John, I think he can just add you as a maintainer with upload rights directly. At this point you can then feel more comfortable in adding the package to stackage. I hope that makes sense and I’m not missing anything.

Best,
Gershom
