Yes, indeed, it has to do with change of ownership. Simon has requested to take over maintainance but Gisle has not yet confirmed. I believe this is only an oversight and so I made SIMONW co-maintainer of WWW::Chat. I hope this is OK for everybody. If it is OK, Simon can force re-indexing on PAUSE and the problem is solved.
