I know that we've had a lot of discussion on this list about taking over

on a procedure for an orderly transfer of modules where both the former

protocol for turning over modules and letting CPAN know it's all legit?
Yeah, on PAUSE there are very simple forms the current maintainer can fill out in order to transfer ownership to a new maintainer. That will make the indexer recognize new uploads by a different author as legit.
