hackage-server Link to Maintainers from each package's hackage page

Each package has a maintainer, declared in the cabal file (e.g. [1]). Each package has a list of maintainers authorised to make changes to it on hackage (e.g. [2]).

It would be a nice small addition if there was a link from the former to the latter (from [1] to [2]).

[1] https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Yampa/ [2] https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Yampa/maintainers/

EDIT: clarification.

@ivanperez-keera can you maybe create a mockup of the UI? I've had considered this too, but I couldn't come up with a UI design that wouldn't be somewhat weird, as the maintainer-group and the .cabal declared maintainer(s) have a bit of an impedance mismatch, being in a different format/namespace.

@hvr What I had in mind was super-simple. For example: screenshot from 2017-10-23 01-09-04

@ivanperez-keera ok, that's easy enough; and you see no problem if the .cabal maintainer field has completely diverged from the hackage-maintainer-group?

Oct 23 '17 06:10 hvr

Sure, it may be a bit confusing that they can diverge. And those being different is not always an indication of a problem. When both are real persons, then a reasonable expectation would be that the intersection of both not be empty. However, maintainers may not be real persons. For example, the "cabal" maintainer email might be a mailing list. And the "hackage" maintainer account might correspond to Travis CI.

A possibility to hint that this could happen would be to use a different word instead of details, such as 'official list', 'all', 'list' or 'hackage maintainers'.
The other, maybe less confusing option would be to add it at the bottom, in the current Maintainer's corner. It might require renaming the section so that it fits semantically.

I think the bottom is a good idea. That's where I'd expect it, actually.

Note -- there's a little work that needs to be done to thread the data through to where it needs to go, as the maintainers group isn't normally available to that page directly.

@ivanperez-keera : Are you happy with today's status quo? https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Yampa-0.14.2

I find it weird that it goes under "Maintainer's Corner". But at least it's there…

I agree, the UI/UX could be improved, but at least there is something. We can close it if you want. Thanks.

Fixed by #1098.
