Those two are (relatively) popular end-user applications.

I'm sure this came up already, but just in case it didn't: we largely
have two non-developers maintaining the ::haskell overlay, and they've
been doing so since slyfox's retirement. Since there's an ongoing
thread about recruitment... has anyone thought about letting them do
their work in ::gentoo instead?

Yes, I (and others) have encouraged them to do the quiz and offered
mentoring them.

The two people you refer to (solpeth and hololeap) both warmly
welcomed this move and endorse it. It'd be great to have them as developers
and I've offered to help mentor them, as have others.

This is a similar style cleanup to what we did with OCaml / dev-ml/*.

If people want to keep some packages, we can talk about that,
sure - but help would be needed to look after their dependencies.

Ok, awesome. Thank you both.

Hi there, Goatee author here,

I am around to fix any issues with goatee* and can proxy-maint
officially if that will help.  It should require little work at the
moment, since I'm porting to Qt and goatee-gtk isn't getting new
features.

I do get the burden of maintaining two repos for Haskell though, and I
have always had a smoother experience using ::haskell than the main
tree, so I am fine with this move and appreciate the inclusion in the
main tree in the first place.

dev-games/goatee can be included in the mask too.

Regards,
Bryan
