Not in particular with nix-dev, they don't.

What about reproducible libraries?

Nope.

No. Why not try posting about some haskell project to ghc-dev? It has
functions hasn't it?

That's kind of my point. The way you're _presenting_ it, your aim doesn't
seem to be contributing to NixOS, but stealing away motivated people that
have time and energy for maintaining OSS projects.

If you were actually interested in adding to nix-dev, you might be talking
about how lessons from your project could apply to Nix and how we could
drag NixOS even further into the 21st century, but instead you want a
maintainer for a completely unrelated project. And that right on the heels
of us having (thankfully, THANKFULLY) found a new release manager (an issue
that got me genuinely concerned, and many others too, I'm sure).

It just comes across as a sleazy freeloading attempt, don't you get that?

If I could still help you understand my issue any better, please don't
hesitate to contact me off-list.

kind regards
