Hi all, DeCCing module-auth...@perl.org and CCing modules@perl.org . I would like to ask the CPAN admins' assistance in either reaching Adam Kennedy, or alternatively giving me COMAINT for List-MoreUtils . What are your suggestions? Do you think posting a comment on this blog post of his requesting for COMAINT will be prudent?
http://blogs.perl.org/users/adam_kennedy/2012/09/the-return-of-cpandb-and-the-alpha-top-100-website.html I should note that Adam is still alive and has uploaded his latest CPAN release 9 days ago (see https://metacpan.org/author/ADAMK?sort=[[2%2C1]] ) but he has been much less active on CPAN than before out of relocating to .us, and moving to a not very Perl-involving job. As a result, the latest release of List-MoreUtils (which is what I am interested in) was in 4-August-2011 - https://metacpan.org/release/List-MoreUtils - and it has 51 open rt.cpan.org bugs. Read me message below for some more thoughts about the matter.
