I started on packaging/building them (aeson and attoparsec but not semigroups, monad-control, base-unicode-symbols, etc.) and upgraded all the existing dependencies. It wouldn't be hard to finish 1.12, but doing rebuilds whenever a dependency gets upgraded takes too much time, especially since Haskell's community is very fickle about the combinator/string/stream libraries they use.
