[Haskell-cafe] Looking for maintainers or comaintainers on my Haskell projects

[Gershom B]

Great!

It seems that the issue tracker on
https://github.com/tryhaskell/tryhaskell is disabled? I wanted to
create a ticket to reference
https://github.com/haskell-infra/hl/issues/203

but couldn't see how.

Cheers,
Gershom
