Dear PAUSE admin, I'm interested in adopting Alien.pm so that it can be updated to reflect the current state of the art of Alien on CPAN. I intend to keep it a documentation only distribution and just add some links to commonly used Alien based solutions and examples (including Alien::Base). My fork can be found on GitHub, and details of my plans can be found here:
https://github.com/plicease/Alien/issues/1 My PAUSE id is PLICEASE. I am the release manager for Alien::Base and I have also successfully adopted a number of CPAN modules, including Test::Fixme, File::Which, and others. As per the adoption guidelines I attempted contacting the current owner (Artur Bergman ABERGMAN) via his cpan.org email address, github and twitter. He responded on Twitter as can be seen here: https://twitter.com/crucially/status/641649738735943680 As you can see he is requesting that I take over the module. I asked if he could assign me the appropriate permissions on PAUSE, but given that his last release to CPAN was in 2009 it seems likely that he has forgotten the password, or otherwise does not have the time to make the adjustment in the PAUSE web interface. If you could please make the change in the PAUSE database for me I would greatly appreciate it. If possible, please also make ETJ, JBERGER and ZMUGHAL co-maint of this module. They also have a vested interest in the Alien ecosystem, and I would like them to be able to take over in the event that I am unavailable. Thank you for your timely consideration of this request, Graham
