I’ve been trying to contact Martin since you sent your request, and also haven’t managed to get a response from him. As you say, it looks like he’s enjoying retirement away from CPAN. I’ve given you co-maint for now, so you can do a release. I’ll keep trying to contact Tim — I’ve suggested to him that we give you ownership. In the meantime, if you do a number of releases over the next year or so and demonstrate ongoing maintenance, at that point we’ll be happy to give you first-come permissions. Or if Tim responds to either of us! :-) Thanks for stepping up to fix the bugs. Cheers, Neil
