how to join this group?

[joeyh]

The thread at https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2011-October/096279.html documents how the group works, but not how to become a member. I think that would be good to document somewhere.

(Also I do have interest in becoming a member, I currently maintain aws as more or less a hackage janitor, and bloomfilter also needs maintenance that I think would be well suited to this group. bos/bloomfilter#20 )

@joeyh Agreed that it would be good to document somewhere.

In the meantime, I've added you to the group with admin permissions. I think the criteria is, more or less, "do you want to help maintain something" ;)

If it's more complicated than that, please clarify @andreasabel, or someone else who might know.

[joeyh]

Understanding the rules and that criteria seem reasonable to me.

I was mostly looking for some document saying how to file an issue or who to contact to apply for membership. I did consider private messaging some of the current maintainers but thought this would also work. And maybe opening a discussion like this is a good way.

(Thanks for adding me.)

A parallel effort (similar in spirit) has laid out rules quite concretely, maybe we can adopt those: https://github.com/haskell-github-trust/.github/tree/main/profile
