[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Status of bustle package.

[peter green]

While working on cleaning things up in raspbian I took a look at the 
bustle package in debian.

Currently it is uninstallable on all architectures and furthermore it's 
build-depends are uninstallable on kfreebsd. The package does appear to 
build successfully on current sid amd64 linux.

According to the pts the package is orphaned. As such I was about to 
file a removal request (roqa) for kfreebsd and a binnmu request for 
linux myself. However on closer inspection things didn't seem to add up 
with the orphaning.

Chris Lamb made the vast majority of the packages uploads throughout 
it's history up to and including an upload in mid 2011,
Hector oron and Iain Lane made one upload of the package each in 2012 
and added themselves to the maintainer list. It would appear that one of 
them also removed Chris Lamb from the maintainer list but did not make 
any mention in the changelog that they had done so.
Then a week ago Chris Lamb filed a wnpp bug orphaning the package, in 
the bug he expresses regret at being unable to remove himself from the 
maintainer list despite the fact he had already been removed.

What happened? was Chris unaware of Hector and Iain's uploads? did a 
mail get stuck in a time warp? should I consider the packaged orphaned 
or should I consider it to be under the maintainership of Iain and Hector?
