Move to a GitHub organization

[treeowl]

It's my general belief that it's much better for the "official" repositories of packages on Hackage to be owned by GitHub organizations (or the GitLab equivalent, etc.) than by individuals. An organization can have multiple owners, which makes it much easier to manage the risk of the primary author falling off the face of the net (or worse). Transferring ownership of the repo to an organization cleanly transfers all issues and pull requests, both past and present, all branches, etc.

This is by no means urgent; just something to think about.

That might be a good idea. I was planning to give you permission to merge PRs. It doesn't address everything you bring up, but it's a step up from the current situation.

Thanks! Yes, setting up an organization is a little bit of fuss and button mashing till things work, but then you don't really have to touch it very often.

I tried to make main a protected branch so that we can only merge to it. But then I made it so all merges require at least 1 approval and I dunno if that's a good idea or too restrictive?

Requiring approvals is too restrictive by far. That's for really big, formal projects.
