[haskell-llvm] Looking to transition maintainership of the llvm package(s)

[Marcelo Sousa]

For the sake of a consistent package and avoid duplicate work, it would be
nice if we could merge all branches and assign components to maintainers. I
would be interested in finding if some of newly implemented features could
be useful in my verification framework.

Regards,
Marcelo
