Dear Isaac, Thank you for your reply and the explanation on the background. I got to know about your ownership of this namespace when I initially submitted my distribution to cpan maintainers. Their automated checks bumped into this and let me know it was owned by you. I contacted the cpan maintainers who then contacted you to ask your position on this (attached their mail sent on this topic). I am copying them here too for simplicity of communication.
I think you need to go to your PAUSE account to transfer ownership of that namespace to me, but not sure. Thanks again for your support.

At the moment the first-come indexing permission on DB::Object is assigned to ISAAC (Issac, who I’ve copied on this email). Issac, are you happy for the PAUSE admins to transfer ownership of DB::Object to Jacques? It doesn’t look like you’re currently using it? Cheers, Neil
