Thanks for stepping up to help the fight against CPAN bitrot. Typically when a module has been flagged ADOPTME, an adoption request like yours is straightforward. But in some cases we have to do a bit more due diligence. And this is one of those cases ;-) The module has six people with co-maint (which isn’t very common — roughly three quarters of modules have no co-maint, and the next most common pattern is a single co-maint), and 5 of those have done a release at some point (CHIPS, in case you weren’t sure, you’re the odd one out). Furthermore, there are four other distributions on CPAN that depend on Memcached-libmemcached, including one last released by one of the co-maints (Hi Tim!). Given the above, I just wanted to check that all the co-mainters, particularly the past releases and dependers, are happy for you to take ownership and start releasing. If they all reply in the affirmative, then I’ll make the change straight away. Otherwise I’ll wait a week, and if no-one complains, I’ll make the change next Monday. Cheers, Neil
