The GHC Team
The success of GHC has a lot to do with the large band of highly talented people who contribute to it; this page is mainly to acknowledge those contributions but also to give users of GHC an idea of "who is responsible for what". In particular there are several people who have generously agreed to look after the port of GHC to a particular platform, or produce packages for a certain platform - the section below lists these people and the port or packages that they maintain.
