... I did another fork in order to update to type-families, since in 
GHC-7.4 the handling of functional dependencies became so slow in a 
particular case that one of my modules needed 15min to compile. Since I 
find git dangerous (pushed to wrong branch several times) and the WWW 
based frontend of github extremely cumbersome I made my fork in darcs:

If there are maintainers who are happy with git, then I am ok with 
contributing to git, though. I am willing to merge my fork to the new llvm 
HEAD.

I also develop the llvm-extra package that adds some nice features on top 
of 'llvm'. Maybe the new maintainers want to integrate some of the 
functionality into the base package:
