Description

It seems that this discussion has already taken place in https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/43 but isn't documented yet. Can someone take a lead in writing the documentation for this or delegating? According to #1 it is the Haskell Foundation who owns this namespace so can @jmct take responsibility for delegating this task?

----

I was wondering about what the process of adding a new repo to the `haskell` organisation was.

* How does a repo get added to the `haskell` organisation?
* Who do you ask to get a repo added to the organisation?
* What are any requirements or expectations of maintainership of repos in the organisation?
* What are the expectations of communication (for example, https://haskell.foundation/guidelines-for-respectful-communication/)?

It would also be good to clarify in the README what the difference between this repo and

* Haskell Foundation repo: https://github.com/haskellfoundation/
* Haskell Github Trust: https://github.com/haskell-github-trust

------

My personal opinion:

* `haskell` organisation should be only for actively maintained and vibrant projects, I agree with Richard about it being a showcase.
* Packages on life support should be placed in `haskell-github-trust` (which is like `rust-unofficial`)
