I intend to take over maintainership of the [cql](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cql) and [cql-io](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cql-io) packages.

I have written important additions that are necessary to bring the packages closer to production readiness.

I’ve attempted to contact both maintainers, via gitlab and email, without success.

I emailed the hackage-admin address about a week ago, and haven’t heard back yet, so I thought I would follow up here. I haven’t heard back from either maintainer since I posted this in June. I would really like to get out a release with the updated features.

Maybe it makes sense to ping an admin here: @bmillwood

No worries. There was no malice in the follow up. Sometimes I lose things and need reminders.
