Sorry about this. It's just that the way the Haskell team in particular
has things set up makes it quite hard for non-DDs to get much done.
It's not impossible though. I would suggest downloading the
package-plan and DHG_packages repos and get yourself into a position
where you can help update versions bounds in package metadata, refresh
patches etc.
