@ -8,6 +8,19 @@ The idea behind Stackage is that, if all packages work with the newest versions
Packages in Stackage are not patched: all package changes occur upstream in Hackage.
## Github and Notifications
Stackage uses Github notifications to reduce overhead of contacting individual
package maintainers through various channels. As a package maintainer, you will
receive notifications for a number of reasons, package build failures of
different sorts, blockages and bounds issues, etc.
Please note, Github does some throttling on the number people that can be
notified within one issue. This means that on issues created with a large
number of packages affected, maintainers may not receive a notification. This
is not ideal, but Stackage is largely a manual process and done on a best
effort basis.
## Adding a package
Anyone can add any package to Stackage but you may only add packages under your own name. It's highly encouraged that the actual package maintainer is also the Stackage maintainer, if that is not the case you should drop the package maintainer a note first.
