Hi Dominic, I’m one of the PAUSE admins; I’m working on making the ownership (the first-come permission) of CPAN distributions consistent. PAUSE tries to do this automatically now, but there are historical cases that need a bit of gardening.
You released OpenGuides between 2004 and 2010, and have the first-come permission on the lead module (OpenGuides), and most of the other modules. So according to policy, you would get first-come on all packages. But Bob Walker (copied on this email) has done all releases since 2012, including this year, so I wonder if it would make more sense to give Bob first-come permissions on all packages? You would retain co-maint on all packages. This would make it possible for Bob to manage all permissions, for example to give other people co-maint, and also to hand it on, should that time come. If you’re happy with this, I can make the changes for you. Is that ok? Cheers, Neil
