[Haskell-cafe] Maintainership of 3 packages on Hackage by Adjoint Inc

[Sumit Raja]

Hi Ivan,

Stephen Diehl (https://github.com/sdiehl) has been very helpful in the past
with these packages. I haven't seen any activity from other Adjoint members
in a while. Maye Stephen is on this list and can help.

As an aside, are you using these libraries for research purposes or in the
wild? I'm interested in their suitability for non-research purposes or if
something like blst (https://github.com/supranational/blst) with a Haskell
FFI wrapper is more suitable/secure.

Regards

Sumit
