I have just made that change. This puzzles me, as when I approached Bernard, asking if he'd be willing to let me take it over (as it was unmaintained for a couple of years and had some important bugs reported in RT with no response for a couple of years) his response was "Yes, I'm the author of this module. We may consider transferring it to your responsibility. How do you want to proceed?" - to me that was an agreement to hand over mmaintainership. That said - I'm perfectly happy to just act as a co-maintainer, and will contact Berhard off-list to discuss that (in particular, which repository should be considered the "official" one, as I could find no public repository and thus started a new one on GitHub with the code as it was at the point I thought I was taking it over). I'd just like to make it clear that this was a mis-understanding, and not an attempt to subvert control of someone else's module. Cheers Dave P
