   twice in Aug 2023 and Oct 2023, but never heard back. Earlier Duncan granted
   me rights for `tar` and `zlib` packages, so I imagine he is just exceedingly
   busy. > > `bzlib` package has been on life support by Hackage Trustees for

   While I can do another non-maintainer upload in my Trustee hat, I’d like
   to seek a more permanent solution and maintain `bzlib` back to its canonical
   home at https://github.com/haskell/bzlib (which I already have access to).

   https://github.com/hackage-trustees/bzlib/issues/4), which identifies a security
   vulnerability in `bzlib`, thus raising a need for urgent update. > > Best
