Hi, Emacs!
There is a Haskell Mode in existence, which seems to have been written
by a fine upstanding member of the free software community.
It isn't part of Emacs, making it a mild hassle to download and load and
use.
Is there any reason why this mode isn't part of Emacs, and could it
become part of Emacs?

I believe Stefan is the maintainer, he might have more information on this.
FWIW, `haskell-mode' is the only Haskell major mode I know of, and it
works pretty well.
How does assigning copyright work? Do all previous contributors have
to sign papers? There have been quite a few, IIRC.

The only reason why it's not part of Emacs, AFAIK is that I haven't had
the energy/time to track down the contributors and get the relevant
papers signed. If someone wants to help me do that, I'd be
very grateful.

PS: The same holds for SML, by the way, except that I did try to track
people down for that one at some point.
