I'm not against you being the maintainer, and I think I already stated
in a private mail that I do not wish to be the maintainer (maybe I would
volunteer to be a co-maintainer, but I don't have time to do even that
at the moment). However, I'm involved with Haskell and OpenGL
deeply enough that I care a lot about what happens, and I want to
ensure that there is at minimum a public discussion about issues on
which I disagree with the maintainer.

But seriously, we should just focus on the actual issues instead of
politics.

For example I think I listed more than 5 independent reasons for having
a different package (instead of just a new version) in case of
large/incompatible changes. Also I'm against dropping OpenGL 2.0
support, though that's a lesser problem if the new bindings is a
different package. I don't remember getting any reply on that.
