Hi Peter, > I never actively placed this [HTML::Tree] in ADOPTME, and nobody's contacted > me in several years about it. > Neil et al: can you please explain how this got placed in ADOPTME?
The HTML-Tree distribution has quite a history over the years: • It was originally released by Gisle Aas (GAAS), who did releases in 1998 and 1999. • It was then taken over by Sean Burke (SBURKE), who did 26 releases between 1999 and 2003. • Andy Lester (PETDANCE) then did 5 releases in 2005 and 2006. • PETEK did 3 releases in 2006 • Jeff Fearn (JFEARN) then did 7 releases between 2010 and 2011 • Christopher Madsen (CJM) did 18 releases between 2012 and 2014 • Jeff Fearn did one more release in 2017 • The last 4 releases were done by Kent Fredric (KENTNL), in 2017. I suspect KENTNL was given first-come, as he had planned to continue doing releases. Kent sadly died in a tragic accident earlier this year. When a CPAN author dies, any of their first-come permissions are converted to ADOPTME, and I think that’s how HTML::Tree ended up this way. Peter (PETEK) and Christopher (CJM) both have co-maint. If one of you two want to have the first-come permission on this, you have the clearest case. If not, you could let Robert take it. What say ye? Cheers, Neil
