Hi PAUSE Admins, Would someone mind granting co-maint to XENU and CAPOEIRAB on the Win32::Daemon dist, please? I've forwarded along the email request to Dave Roth along with his response approving of the request.

I guess making it easy for him helped. :) Please forward to a CPAN admin and let them make the change!

Wow, you have a good memory; I hardly remember the WM Server. 😉 Are you still at HP? I used to work with them on drivers when I was the PM Lead for the PnP team. Crazy work. It has been years since I have touched any of this code or CPAN. And I have yet to touch the Git repository. So… *I am fine with granting XENU and CAPOEIRAB co-maint permissions on PAUSE. And I want to extend my appreciation and gratitude to them for maintaining the extension. Thanks, guys!* 😊 I am quite pleased and proud that the Daemon extension is still being used. How cool is that? Thanks for following up on this, Jan.

If you don't want to bother with making the changes yourself, then maybe you could just reply to this email and say that your are fine with granting XENU and CAPOEIRAB co-maint permissions on PAUSE, and I can get one of the CPAN admins to make the change for you.

I think the last time I saw you, you were still working on Windows Media Server... I guess that must have been around 2001 or so. I've been transferred to HP when they bought the PaaS technology from ActiveState, and have since been handed down further to SUSE to work on Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes. Anyways, I've attached email with the details for Chase and Thomasz. You can see that both have been doing work on Win32::Daemon already: https://github.com/perl-libwin32/win32-daemon/commits/master <https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fperl-libwin32%2Fwin32-daemon%2Fcommits%2Fmaster&data=02%7C01%7CDave.roth%40microsoft.com%7Cef80abf586e94621b13d08d6a699929e%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C1%7C636879575872234483&sdata=ioaGaZPbj93bP08aV7HIO%2FwJRiEm5q6uQBoiU8em9p4%3D&reserved=0> Can you give both of them co-maint permission on your module on PAUSE, so they can upload newer versions to CPAN? Or you can grant me FIRST-COME permissions on the namespace, and then I can give out CO-MAINT permissions to others in the future (I'm not going to work on it myself in the foreseeable future). https://pause.perl.org/pause/query <https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpause.perl.org%2Fpause%2Fquery&data=02%7C01%7CDave.roth%40microsoft.com%7Cef80abf586e94621b13d08d6a699929e%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C1%7C636879575872234483&sdata=bJwjRsBdbojNem8Y9tzxXDJvMh%2Bc1%2FgLQm3aG8ngpKs%3D&reserved=0> Let me know how you want to proceed!

I'm happy to invite a couple of people and give them co-maint, as long as there is an understanding that the modules should stay backwards compatible because they are very old. I'm aware of many deficiencies, but most are hard to fix without breaking backwards compatibility, so I think it would be better to create new modules that implement the same APIs in a saner manner (e.g. the Unicode support is based on the Perl 5.6 way of how SvUTF8 was supposed to work, and does not do the right thing for later versions). So I would like to see them keep working with newer versions of Perl and Windows, but don't think they should be extended with additional functionality. Note that I've inherited maintenance of most of the modules myself; I wrote maybe 50% of WIn32 and 95% of Win32::OLE, but the rest I've only done minimal maintenance to keep them working. Please let me know who you think would be willing to work on maintaining these modules? Please send me Github user names, so I can invite them to the org! I may have only co-maint on some of the names on PAUSE, so working out release permissions might involve some more people.

It looks like you are very active on GitHub. Are you still up for p5 dev work on the Win32:: dists? Would you mind maybe creating a GitHub organization for those dists and we can get some PAUSE perms spread around for releases? These are pretty high up the river for Windows Perl, so we'd want to be careful if that route was taken. Thanks, Chase
