Oh my, what a mess! ARFREITAS had contacted me a week or so ago, asking me to take him off as co-maintainer, and I apparently didn't reply soon enough, so he must have gone ahead and deleted everything instead. Glad to hear you guys are fixing it, let me know if I can be of any help. Haven't released any cpan module in a while, though :).
