Maintainship of edit-distance and lattices

[Simon Peyton Jones]

There have been other, similar requests to Max within the last 2 years or so, and I don't think there were any responses. I would be in favor of somebody else taking over as maintainer.

As I understand it, after a period of tremendous productivity, Max is no longer active in the Haskell community.  I doubt that he would be offended if you took over maintainership.  On the contrary, it would be a way of keeping his past contributions up to date and useful to today’s community.

I’d like to help with maintaining of mentioned packages:
- http://hackage.haskell.org/package/edit-distance
- http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lattices

Max doesn’t seem to be active on GitHub, there are
- a PR to edit-distance fixing the build on GHC 7.10, open for 26 days: https://github.com/batterseapower/edit-distance/pull/3

I have a pull request open for over a year. It was minor, so I didn't follow up on it:
https://github.com/batterseapower/edit-distance/pull/2

- a PR to lattices opened at Jan 8 2015 (open for over 3 months already) https://github.com/batterseapower/lattices/pull/3

I could take over the maintainership of the packages, if Max doesn’t respond in two weeks
