Neil,
Thank you for answering me!
Let's put it up for adoption then, though I don't think this will be
useful to anyone anylonger.
We'd like the CONTACT and AUTHOR section to remove any official
implication that we're supporting it anymore, even though I know our
email address is embedded in the Changelog. We've not really touched
this module since 2015, and earnest development on it stopped around
2000, 2001. We're shutting down the c...@caida.org email since it's just
become a spam catcher with no legitimate traffic in the past few years :)

You have several options, the main ones being:
1. You can put the module up for adoption. This leaves it on CPAN,
but marks it as being available for anyone to take it over. If
someone is interested, they can just apply to the PAUSE admins, it
wouldn't need any interaction from Greg (whose name is on the last
release of Chart::Graph) or anyone else at CAIDA. I can make this
change, if you decide to go this route.
2. It can be scheduled for deletion. Normally this is done by the
user who uploaded it, i.e. Greg, but given the affiliation with
CAIDA listed on the module's documentation, I could schedule the
deletion for you. 72 hours (3 days) later, it would be deleted
from CPAN. The downside of this approach is that it might pull the
rug from under someone else who is using it, and makes it unlikely
that someone would come across it and decide to adopt it.
If you went with the first option, I could blank out the email address
associated with the CAIDAPERL account, to stop you getting any email.
Hopefully option 1 is ok with you?
