Takeover of Pod::Coverage

2022-08-18 Thread Graham Knop
I would like to take over maintenance of Pod::Coverage. I would intend
to port it to use Pod::Simple rather than Pod::Parser, and likely make
other improvements.

I reached out to Richard Clamp about this via email
(richa...@unixbeard.net) on July 6th, but haven't gotten any response.
I also posted an issue about this at
https://github.com/richardc/perl-pod-coverage/issues/2, which also
hasn't gotten any response. I haven't been able to find any other
points of contact to try. Richard's last CPAN upload is from 2017,
which leads me to believe he is unlikely to return to active CPAN
module maintenance.

Pod::Coverage is obviously a rather important module in the perl
ecosystem. I don't intend to make any changes that would break
compatibility. I've already done a lot of the work I intend for the
module, which I released as Pod::Coverage::TrustMe. While that module
is meant to be a drop in replacement for Pod::Coverage, the changes I
would make to Pod::Coverage itself would be more conservative.

I've been able to make contact with Richard Clamp now, so this takeover
request is no longer needed. I'll address anything further to him.
