I released a new rss:
http://hackage.haskell.org//package/rss-3000.2.0
It no longer requires old-time and is tested with the latest versions
of its dependencies.

Perhaps, unless someone step up, it would be nice to move packages that have
no maintainer anymore into a github organisation (haskell-janitors ?),
Nice idea! However I think we should always strive for having a single
or a limited number of maintainers. Finally when nobody wants to take
over a package we can hand it over to haskell-janitors.
I like the janitors idea because it is practical, and I also like the
ideal world where every package has an active maintainer.
How about we set up the haskell-janitors github group as Vincent
suggests, with some basic rules like:
* when you upload a package you put your name and email address in the
maintainer field, with a comment saying that you are maintaining this
package through the haskell-janitors group
* anyone in the haskell-janitors group can upload a new version of a
package which is maintained through the haskell-janitors group. When
you do so you set (or prepend?) your name as maintainer.
* if anyone anywhere ever gets keen to take exclusive maintenance of a
project, to redesign it or whatever, they're welcome to take it out of
haskell-janitors.
Goals would be:
* timely uploads (anyone can upload)
* accountability (you put your name on it)
* packages still have someone who can accept patches, answer questions
etc. (you put your name on it)
