Hi Pieter,
> I’m not sure whether I follow the implications of the change completely

Each module in a distribution can have one person who has the "first-come 
indexing permission". This means that not only can you release that module, but 
you can give other people co-maint on that module. People with co-maint can do 
releases of the module, but can’t edit who has indexing permissions on the 
module.

In general, where a distribution has multiple modules in it, one person has the 
first-come indexing on all of those modules. But in the past, if someone with 
co-maint did a release that added one or more new modules, then they would get 
first-come on those new modules, rather than the person who has first-come on 
all of the existing modules. PAUSE now does the right thing, so I’m tidying up 
the historical cases.

Thank you. I’ve transferred the first-come permissions to Yanick, and you now 
have co-maint on all modules in the distribution, as does Rik.

Cheers,
Neil
