Is protocol-buffers package maintainer reachable?

[Paul Graphov]

Hello Cafe!

I am using protocol-buffers and hprotoc packages but they fail to
compile with recent GHC due to trivial errors. Hackage names
Christopher Edward Kuklewicz as their maintainer. I've sent him
patches more than a month ago but neiter they were applied nor I got
any response. It's quite inconvenient to keep patched versions all the
time. Does anybody know if he is still interested in maintaining those
packages? Is it possible to contact him? And what should I do if he is
unreachable?

Thanks!

I've too tried to contact him almost year ago about same issue. Never
got an answer.

My feeling is that if you are willing to take it on, you should ask
this list if anybody objects to your taking over the maintainership,
and if they do not, take it over (on Hackage, this just means
uploading a new version of the package).

If Chris is indeed out of the loop we should find a new maintainer.
Mark and I are also interested in the future of protocol buffers in
Haskell.

For what it's worth, I think he is active on stackoverflow.

I'm not sure about being a maintainer - I don't even know how those
packages work and have no experience in preparing package for hackage.
But fixes are really trivial - maybe I'll just upload patched versions
if it is possible?

Is it possible to contact StackOverflow user?

Also, Chris is the maintainer of some regex packages
that are in the Haskell Platform.

FWIW, I didn't have any issues getting in touch with him a year ago
(from Oct 2010 through 21 March 2011, according to my email record).
Though I haven't tried since then.

Like Johan Tibell, I'm interested in the maintenance of these packages
since I'm using them for a project; though I don't know that I could
contribute anything more than a context for regression debugging.
