What fraction of the maintenance work will be Haskell- packaging related? If it is a package with many non-Haskell users that will file bugs that need to be reproduced and narrowed down, with knowledge of the particular application, then the non-Haskell-related workload is high, and it makes sense for you to maintain them yourself. Of course we are around to help. If it is a low maintenance package and most time will be spend updating the build-depends as new versions come out, it could live under the DHG umbrella. Also, if it becomes a build-dependency of “our” packages. But generally, I suggest the former: Individual maintainers who feel responsible and are responsive.
