Generally, I am supportive of having a human maintainer for programs, while having group maintenance for libraries, as programs also involve the „end user support“, more specific issues of documentation, desktop files and what not, so these benefit from the attention of a single maintainer. If you follow this argumentation, we could put the dependencies under the DHG hood and you keep the ledger package. > > I’m just reviewing your package.

Well, what about the option that you join the haskell group and ensure from within the group that the haskell libraries you need are in shape? :-) (We always need manpower, especially people with upload rights are very useful when it comes to transitions like the ghc7 one) (If you are not interested, that is fine of course as well.) We can fix the watchfile upon adoption.
