Module maintainers: What have you experienced?

[James E Keenan]

Last week I mentioned 
(http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.module-authors/4576) that I will be 
leading a discussion at YAPC in Chicago on the process of taking over 
maintenance of CPAN modules.  This will be based partly on my own 
experiences in taking over maintenance of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker from 
Geoff Avery, and partly on the responses I got from a survey letter I 
sent to about a dozen CPAN module maintainers earlier this month.

But why stop there?  My early sample was totally unscientific.  (In 
fact, I can't even remember how I drew it up.)  But if you would like to 
express your thoughts on this subject, you can view the questions at 
http://thenceforward.net/pipermail/module-maintainers/2006-May/000002.html 
and respond as described therein.
