Given that, I’ve just transferred first-come to P5P, with you retaining 
co-maint on all modules in the Math-BigInt distribution.

Interesting. When looking at these modules (where P5P has permissions), I just 
ran `corelist <module>` and trusted what it said. Turns out that with 
Math::Complex and Math::Trig, corelist lies.

Looking through Perl releases, the distribution was dropped in 5.10.0 (i.e. the 
last release containing them was 5.8.9). I’ve copied BinGOs on this email — 
Chris, it will no doubt be much quicker for you to update Module::CoreList than 
me :-)

If you’re still open to releasing an update to the Math-Complex dist, you could 
email ZEFRAM again, copying in the PAUSE admins (modules@perl.org, copied on 
this email). If you don’t get a response from Andrew in an appropriate 
timeframe, we’d try and contact him, and then if we failed, as per the PAUSE 
Operating Model, we’d give you co-maint.

Cheers,
Neil
