Dropping maintenance, takeovers welcome

[andreasabel]

Dear cabal-doctest users,
I am dropping my dependency on cabal-doctest and thus have no material interest in maintaining it.
So I am happy for a new maintainer to take over.
Express your interest in the comments below, maybe with a short motivating statement.

Hi @andreasabel, I did a cursory review of the package — on a background of having fiddled with Cabal-the-library, it does make some sense to me.

I'm also aware of its deprecation on hackage, and the general pain-point of doctests, as in haskell/cabal#2327. Although I don't yet see the entire doctesting landscape — I do write Haskell daily, and exploring it as-needed shouldn't be a big problem.

Am cautiously willing to rotate-in for maintainership.

AFAICS, the CI here doesn't do hackage uploads; I guess you'd want to add me to uploaders group, and at Maintain or Admin role in the github repo.

@ulidtko Thanks, Maxim, for volunteering! Great to have a new maintainer.

My work on this package was limited to keep it working with new releases of Cabal and GHC. Cabal-3.6 needed a release (1.0.9), from then, revisions on Hackage were sufficient.

I'm also aware of its deprecation on hackage

Maybe the deprecation was done in expectation of an integration of doctest support into cabal, but this never happened, so it could be un-deprecated.

The @haskellari organization is owned by @phadej, I cannot add new collaborators here myself. Oleg is also co-maintainer on Hackage. So he can give you the rights in this repo and the rights to upload and revise on Hackage.

@ulidtko : What is your hackage account?

@phadej, could you add Maxim here and on hackage?

@ulidtko : What is your hackage account?

It's ulidtko there too

[phadej]

@ulidtko I'll be happy to transfer the repository out of haskellari organization.

@andreasabel @phadej @ulidtko was there any conclusion about transfer of cabal-doctest?

[phadej]

All the discussion is in this issue...

[ulidtko]

@Bodigrim thanks for the ping.

@phadej you can now transfer to ulidtko/doctest

@andreasabel please add me to maintainers

[phadej]

@ulidtko "ulidtko/cabal-doctest already exists". I cannot transfer the repository to you because of that.

[ulidtko]

@phadej OK, removed. Please retry

[phadej]

@ulidtko GH still complains, "You can only transfer a repository from an organization to yourself at this time". I added you as an admin to this repo, so you hopefully should be able to transfer it yourself.

[ulidtko]

@phadej Yes, that worked. 🎉 Neat

[andreasabel]

Sorry, was travelling for two weeks. I added @ulidtko to the Hackage maintainers.
Thanks, Maxim, for taking over!
