That's because I meanwhile ask _before_ doing any work. I did it another way when I was new and many of the effort was for wastebin after that. In this special case my new $job offers me a task where I could do "case study" for long awaited Proc::ProcessTable fix and I decided to take the chance. I'm sorry that I don't have a web-site where my tasks for the next weeks/months are listed - it's on TODO-list (probably after ExtUtils::XBuilder). > I assumed this meant that he had done an accidental > release of the namespace many years ago but then deleted the upload > (creating a persistent primary) and so all of Tassilo's work had been > done under secondary.

Can you please prove whether https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=63342 is because of your changes and answer the ticket accordingly? > Nothing I've changed has any effect on the module itself, and Jens > should be able to continue his work and do his first release as per > normal. Not really - because of this the time pressure increased. I'm even not sure what module should get highest priority ofter next SQL::Statement/DBI release, but this action forces me to L::MU and this might disappoint people like Merijn (Tux) who's waiting for reworked P::PT since nearly a year now. > Sorry for the confusion. I was more confused about the silence - even if you know how to contact me in IRC or via mail - and of the silence of the CPAN admin who added your ID to the co-maint list. I didn't know that it's allowed that this is the same person. Anyway - I vote for changing the workflow: CPAN admins should not be allowed to add themself as a secondary. I'm fine with everything else of this chaos so far :) Best, Jens > Adam K > > On 26 November 2010 07:50, Jens Rehsack <rehs...@googlemail.com> wrote: >> Hi CPAN Modules managers, >> >> it looks like we have some trouble regarding List::MoreUtils. >> >> It took me a while to get the maintainership from Tassilo, but in late >> Summer I >> received the permissions.
