Hi Jim, sorry in the delay in getting back to you.

If the NoSQL moniker continues to gain traction, then DBIx.NoSQL should probably not even refer to a specific implementation. In response to my recent post in the Google Groups NoSQL discussion, someone suggested that DBIx.NoSQL should be reserved as an interface and implementations named underneath. For example, my implementation would logically be DBIx.noSQL.rdb, which accurately describes using an NoSQL implementation using rdb. Given a realistic timeline, I would be happy to coordinate the effort of writing such an interface. That project sounds exciting, but requires a bit of effort to engage the appropriate experts. I assume the maintainers who read this email have the best and broadest perspective about whether this approach makes sense. I look forward to your response.
modules@perl.org is really purely an administrative list for dealing with namespace-permission matters and other PAUSE administrative things. We occasionally still give feedback to new authors on module naming, but using the module-authors mailing list instead is better for that.
In order to contact the author/maintainer of a particular contribution to CPAN, I would suggest checking the distribution of contact information or the metacpan.org page for the given author. Additionally, applying a healthy dose of Google usually doesn't hurt. :)
The main point is that it's highly unlikely that the author of the particular module you're looking at is reading modules@perl.org.
Best regards, Steffen (for the PAUSE admins)
