Hi Kyoshi, I would like to put File::XDG up for adoption. What all would I need to do on my end to make this happen?
You have two options: 1. If you want to have a chance to decide whether someone can adopt it, then give co-maint to the special user ADOPTME. You can do this via the PAUSE web interface: select "Add Comaintainers" on the left sidebar; find the relevant distribution in your list, tick the checkbox next to it, put ADOPTME in the text box "Select a userid", and click on "Make Co-Maintainer". 2. If you’re happy for anyone who’s interested to adopt it, then you can transfer the first-come permission to ADOPTME: select "Transfer Primary Permissions" in the left sidebar, and go through the same process above as for co-maint. When you do this, people can apply to the PAUSE admins for permissions on the distribution. Please ask if you have any questions on the above. Cheers, Neil
