Two of these have haskell@ as a backup maintainer, but the other two
list only myself.

What's wrong with them? They're essentially feature complete with no
bugs and don't bother anyone AFAIK.

Hey mjo, sorry about this - we were somewhat aggressive when building 
this list because much of the ecosystem has a tendency to do things like 
put strict upper bounds in their cabal files, leading to lots of 
blockers and manual patching whenever dependencies get bumped.

Do any of your packages pull in deps that are in the last-rited list?  
If not I don't see an issue with keeping them.

These are the recently-masked first-level dependencies that they need,
but there may be more transitively:

  dev-haskell/configurator
  dev-haskell/dns
  dev-haskell/filemanip
  dev-haskell/hdbc
  dev-haskell/hdbc-postgresql
  dev-haskell/hdbc-sqlite3
  dev-haskell/missingh
  dev-haskell/parallel-io

All of the bounds in my four packages are >= bounds -- even in the
cabal file -- to avoid the problem you mentioned. I'd guess that they
build fine against whatever the latest versions of those dependencies
are; if not, the dependencies could be updated (can't hurt worse than
masking, right?)

This subset are needed for Ganeti, which I'd really like to get back
into the main tree (I'm talking w/ upstream about newer Py3 versions).

Normal usage:
ganeti-3.0.2-r2.ebuild: >=dev-haskell/hslogger-1.1.4:0= <dev-haskell/hslogger-1.4:0=
ganeti-3.0.2-r2.ebuild: >=dev-haskell/regex-pcre-0.94.2:0= <dev-haskell/regex-pcre-0.96:0=
ganeti-3.0.2-r2.ebuild: >=dev-haskell/snap-core-1.0.0:0=
ganeti-3.0.2-r2.ebuild: >=dev-haskell/snap-server-1.0.0:0=

USE=test:
ganeti-3.0.2-r2.ebuild: dev-haskell/haddock:0=
ganeti-3.0.2-r2.ebuild: dev-util/shelltestrunner

If it's not currently in the main tree, and it's written in haskell, why 
not submit it to the haskell overlay?  All of these packages are going 
to still be available, and maintained, in the haskell overlay.  Plus, it 
functions like a sort of sandbox, so if people find it useful (and it 
actually stays maintained) there we can easily sync it back to the main 
gentoo tree.
