Checklist:

• Haddock documentation for the new function
• Tests for the new function (I did not add them since other simple List functions had none so I assumed they are not required if the function are simple enough)

HLint

• I've changed the exposed interface (add new reexports, remove reexports, rename reexported things, etc.).
  • I've updated hlint.dhall accordingly to my changes (add new rules for the new imports, remove old ones, when they are outdated, etc.).
  • I've generated the new .hlint.yaml file (see this instructions).

General

• I've updated the CHANGELOG with the short description of my latest changes.
• All new and existing tests pass.
• I keep the code style used in the files I've changed (see style-guide for more details).
• I've used the stylish-haskell file.
• My change requires the documentation updates.
  • I've updated the documentation accordingly.
• I've added the [ci skip] text to the docs-only related commit's name.

FYI the Kowainik ecosystem sees very little activity. I personally work on emergency maintenance only, but you may find another maintainer who will review and accept a PR.

Thanks for the heads-up. Should I avoid using this library in the future then?

[tomjaguarpaw]

It will continue to be maintained so that it keeps working with newer releases of GHC, so no need to avoid using it on that basis. I wouldn't expected it to add many new features though.

Maybe @vrom911 can review this?

[drlkf]

Any chance we could have an update on this?

[tomjaguarpaw]

I'm afraid what I previously said still applies. The only maintenance being done on relude currently is the minimum necessary to keep it building with new GHCs.
