Request to transfer newtype-generics

[sjakobi]

I'd like to transfer https://github.com/sjakobi/newtype-generics which I've stopped caring about, so it's easier to maintain for other people who may still need it.

Is there a way to do this without joining the organization myself? Alternatively, do you mind if I join the organization for the purpose of the transfer and then leave again?

(https://github.com/orgs/haskell-github-trust/discussions/15 seems a bit related wrt the transfer mechanics)

Actually, there are a few more packages which I might want to transfer:

• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/coercible-utils (after consulting with the other listed maintainers on Hackage)
• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hspec-parsec

Hi @sjakobi , I sent you an ownership invitation. Yeah it's fine to transfer repositories and then leave this org.

Please remember to do step

2. Add the Hackage account haskell_github_trust as a Hackage Maintainer for the package.

Thanks for writing and maintaining newtype-generics, I've used it in the past and it's a nice package.

Thanks, done!

I didn't actually write it. I only maintained it for a few years. But it's good to hear that people enjoyed using it! :)
