Move github.com/tommd/entropy over to CLC ownership?

[Thomas DuBuisson]

Committee,

I'd like to move entropy from the tommd github or over to the CLC controlled haskell org. My motivation is much the same as outlined by the CLC [1]:

```

* to reduce pressure on, and add support for, maintainers whose libraries have grown very popular; and
* to provide the community with a way to deal with the single-point-of-failure problem when a maintainer of a widely-used library becomes unavailable (perhaps for good reasons).

```

I'd be happy to continue merging PRs and making releases, but I shouldn't be the only maintainer since months can pass without my attention.

Thanks, Thomas.

I support the proposal to adopt `entropy` as a core package. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/entropy is very stable and almost 10 years old, so not much maintenance efforts are required, even if Thomas happens to be absent. It is deeply ingrained into Haskell ecosystem, including HLS (via `uuid` and `lsp`). It is extremely important to keep HLS dependencies in a healthy state, so I believe it would be prudent for CLC to extend its umbrella over `entropy`.

+1 from me.

Best regards,

Andrew

I tried to transfer the repo to /haskell In anticipation of a positive outcome here (easy enough to undo if needed). There is a permission issue right now [1], but I am happy to make the transfer any time.  Alternatively, I just invited Bodigrim to entropy and, once given maintainership, he could make the transfer.

Cheers,

Thomas

Thanks all, 4 votes in favour out of 6 possible are enough to approve.

The repository has been transferred to https://github.com/haskell/entropy 

Best regards,

Andrew
