Comment (by geekiac):
Replying to [comment:26 pumpkin]: I too would be happy to help to maintain
this, however, I am also a relative newbie and would need assistance. If
someone could point me in the right direction, I am a fast learner!!!!

as the Maintainer of the X86_64 MacOS port of GHC. Then we really could
make it a Tier-1 platform (see
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms). In principle its not
hard:
> > * MacOS is already in one Tier-1 platform (32 bit)
> > * x86_64 is already in another Tier-1 platform (Linux)
> > All we need to do is to put the two together -- and some folk are
already working on that (#3472).

group) to sign up to being the maintainers.

> I would definitely be willing to "co-maintain" this with someone else,
but as a relative newcomer to Haskell and GHC (who hasn't even succeeded
in making an unregistered build for this platform yet) I don't think I'd
be suitable as a sole maintainer. Any experts out there who'd be willing
to help?
