[Haskell-cafe] Take over maintainership binary search

[Jappie Klooster]

Hello Hiromi,

First of all my condolences, I did not know the Muranushi had died.

For me, the concern is that the package currently doesn't build, yet the
company I work for depends on it.
I don't particularly mind anyone else taking over maintainership.
And if some of his family wants to do that, I'd be happy as well.
As long as the issue gets fixed.

However, since the company I work for is quite happy to support
opensource projects
I think it makes a lot of sense for me to take over maintainership.

In any case, this particular work of Muranushi would live on.
Which hopefully remedies opening this old wound at least a bit.
