FromJSON ToJSON instances for config

[sergey-kintsel]

I am thinking maybe it's a good idea to have ready to go instances for json/yml/whateverml so that people would be able to use it in their apps and just put the configs into config/redis.yml or whatever?
There is a solution for that already: https://bitbucket.org/s9gf4ult/hedis-config. But, the problem with it is that it's outdated and doesn't compile with the latest hedis version.
I've created PRs to make it work with latest versions of hedis, but, the author didn't respond to me. So, I am thinking, maybe we could add this thingy right there?

@sergey-kintsel there's a pretty good process for taking over the packages https://wiki.haskell.org/Taking_over_a_package I've used that process few times and it worked flawlessly in all cases.

Regarding adding the instances -- I don't have a strong opinion here, but would lean towards not putting them in, mostly because I think this doesn't solve the configuration problem for a relatively high percentage of users, while forcing them to have the dependencies on the libraries they might not use.

Thanks for the link. I understand your point. I will follow the process and wait until the author responds (or not). Meantime, I will use my version in my projects. Thanks for the quick answer :-)
