The HsYAML family needs (an) active maintainer(s)

[andreasabel]

If I understood Herbert (@hvr) correctly, he will not be available for maintenance work in the near future.
I stepped in to keep stuff buildable, but I have no genuine interest in the HsYAML family (at least not so far). I wouldn't do more than keep the package afloat on the Haskell ecosystem and merge bugfixes.

There seem a couple of active developers though that want hang on and see improvements. If you are one of them, maybe this is your call to step forward and volunteer as maintainer?

Applications in the comments or via email to me. (@andreasabel)

I gave up waiting for active maintenance for this project a while back and switched pandoc from HsYAML to yaml.

I'll help with keeping the lights on. If the "Haskell Party" proposed in haskellfoundation/stability#12 ever takes off, I may try to bring this project into the fold of that organization.

Great, I added you to the Hackage uploaders for HsYAML!

Feels like @sjakobi has gone passive, so this issue is open again.
