Chris, first of all, I'm sorry to hear about your problems and I hope 
you'll be getting better. Thank you for your input in Haskell community, we 
all know your libraries.
I'd love to be co-maintainer of path package. I use it extensively and was 
already planning to make some pull requests (allowing for example for env 
variables expansion).

All the best and thank you once again!
Wojciech
