Feature request to add a cabal plugin for building Haskell projects in craft-parts. Labeled Type: Enhancement; no cabal plugin exists in the codebase. A contributor volunteered in Jan 2026 but no maintainer response yet.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The issue is a properly labelled (Type: Enhancement) feature request authored by a maintainer who explicitly welcomes PRs, and a contributor asked to take it on 234 days ago, showing continued interest. The cabal plugin is confirmed absent from craft_parts/plugins/ at HEAD, so the request remains valid and actionable; it should stay open pending a PR or maintainer assignment.
