Link to Maintainers from each package's hackage page

[ivanperez-keera]

Each package has a maintainer, declared in the cabal file (e.g. [1]). Each package has a list of maintainers authorised to make changes to it on hackage (e.g. [2]).

It would be a nice small addition if there was a link from the former to the latter (from [1] to [2]).

[1] https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Yampa/
[2] https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Yampa/maintainers/

EDIT: clarification.

[hvr]

@ivanperez-keera can you maybe create a mockup of the UI? I've had considered this too, but I couldn't come up with a UI design that wouldn't be somewhat weird, as the maintainer-group and the .cabal declared maintainer(s) have a bit of an impedance mismatch, being in a different format/namespace.

[ivanperez-keera]

@hvr What I had in mind was super-simple. For example:

[hvr]

@ivanperez-keera ok, that's easy enough; and you see no problem if the .cabal maintainer field has completely diverged from the hackage-maintainer-group?

[ivanperez-keera]

• Sure, it may be a bit confusing that they can diverge. And those being different is not always an indication of a problem. When both are real persons, then a reasonable expectation would be that the intersection of both not be empty. However, maintainers may not be real persons. For example, the "cabal" maintainer email might be a mailing list. And the "hackage" maintainer account might correspond to Travis CI.

  A possibility to hint that this could happen would be to use a different word instead of details, such as 'official list', 'all', 'list' or 'hackage maintainers'.

• The other, maybe less confusing option would be to add it at the bottom, in the current Maintainer's corner. It might require renaming the section so that it fits semantically.

I think the bottom is a good idea. That's where I'd expect it, actually.

Note -- there's a little work that needs to be done to thread the data through to where it needs to go, as the maintainers group isn't normally available to that page directly.

@ivanperez-keera : Are you happy with today's status quo?

[ulysses4ever]

I find it weird that it goes under "Maintainer's Corner". But at least it's there…

[ivanperez-keera]

I agree, the UI/UX could be improved, but at least there is something. We can close it if you want. Thanks.
