Hi Robbie, I’m one of the PAUSE admins.
> I'm interested in adopting [Sort::Naturally] The package has first-come assigned to ADOPTME, which generally means it’s immediately available for adoption. But sometimes someone is given co-maint on a package and then ADOPTME isn’t removed. If you look on MetaCPAN (https://metacpan.org/pod/Sort::Naturally), you’ll see that there are 151 distributions dependent on Sort-Naturally. In situations like this, the PAUSE admins do a bit more due diligence before transferring permissions. BINGOS, OALDERS, and PERIGRIN have co-maint on Sort::Naturally, but it has a limited release history: 1.03 2012-04-11 BINGOS 1.02 2004-12-30 SBURKE 1.01 2001-05-26 SBURKE I’m guessing that Chris (BINGOS) transferred first-come to ADOPTME – is that right Chris? Olaf and other Chris, did you get co-maint sometime after BINGOS’s one release in 2012, and if so had you intended to do any releases? The key question for the two Chris's and Olaf – are you happy with Robbie getting first-come? Robbie, if you do get first-come are you happy with the following expectations: 1. You won’t change the API in any way that could break downstream code. 2. If you make any non-trivial code changes, you should first do a developer release and wait for a few days to see whether any breakages are reported by CPAN Testers. If everyone is happy with the above, I can transfer first-come. Cheers, Neil
