Maintainers for hnix in nixpkgs

[expipiplus1]

Who is interested in becoming a maintainer for this package in nixpkgs?

It's a case of adding your handle and hnix to the list here: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/ff9db852f0761e05093abf090d4ecb399fea4324/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-hackage2nix/main.yaml#L131

Currently it's "transitively maintained" by me for update-nix-fetchgit and @Gabriel439 for dhall.

It's basically a case of fixing any errors which crop up from the haskell package set updates.

Well, I largely try to go & submit changes into Nixpkgs, and say that I keep a promise. But frequently someone introduces a patch even before me & as on this Friday - I am guilty of releasing hnix-store-{core,remote} on Thursday & not getting a thought or remorse "would they automatically import into Nixpkgs & align to everything up", & my Friday was busy. Also after peti went away - I & probably many feel lost, I love cdepillabout & maralorn - they are doing rock star work up there, I am happy to meet changes but also it is normal that we feel lost. Please, write to peti farewell letters if someone missed to say goodbye to him, as I did, he would be right to not respond, but in reality - he would be glad to keep them & maybe even print them, a fond memory & a stack of proofs his work was not in vain & meant something.

Also, note to self - for {Core,Remote} still need to evolve haskell-nix/hnix-store#89 to simplify this.

Since Nixpkgs is handled currently - I would add myself everywhere appropriate & go over Nixpkgs, once we release HNix GHC 9.0 support.

I didn't know that haskellPackages have a maintainer field in them.

I didn't know that haskellPackages have a maintainer field in them.

Unfortunately, this has been undocumented for a long time which we are aiming to change soon, so not knowing about it is to be expected, no worries!

I opened a Nixpkgs patch declaring me as a contact/maintainer for {hnix, hnix-store-core, hnix-store-remote}.
