- [VulkanMemoryAllocator: Bindings to the VulkanMemoryAllocator library](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/VulkanMemoryAllocator)
- [vulkan-utils: Utils for the vulkan package](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vulkan-utils)

I’m already a maintainer for the [vulkan](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vulkan) package that builds from the same [repository](https://github.com/expipiplus1/vulkan).

I don’t want the whole “this package is mine now”, I just need to go on with the maintenance.

I’m about to finalize a major update to the package set. Is there anything to be done, someone to be contacted about this?
