Good, so this issue has been settled to everyones contents.  Thanks!

Lennart, maybe you could put geniplate on github to accept pull requests?!

Yes, routine changes (like version bumps) that make a package compile
with a new ghc or base should get into hackage fast and
unbureaucratically.  Maybe in the not-so-distant-future routine version
bumps will be automatized.  Until then, one could think of an "extended
hackage committee" that does fall-back maintainance for such routine
jobs for the more interesting packages on hackage.

Cheers,
Andreas
