Re: A question of permissions

I guessed that Buddy simply did not, and I assumed the comment would have passed by unnoticed if it had been directed at some random subscriber helping out, so I thought it best not to make a fuss of it myself on behalf of Neil without asking him, and to leave it to Neil whether he wanted the point addressed.

Requesting FIRSTCOME on Memoize [was: MJD modules are orphans; please adopt them]
Hi, [I tried to send mail about this to modules@perl.org before but there appears to be some problem with my mail getting through which has not been resolved yet by talking to the NOC folks. I asked Andreas about the apparent situation from the PAUSE admin perspective but it was unclear to both of us whether my mails have reached anyone, and he encouraged me to address a copy mail to you all individually. So here I am.] as quoted below, Mark Jason Dominus is relinquishing ownership of his modules. I would like to become FIRSTCOME for the Memoize distribution, meaning the following modules: Memoize Memoize::AnyDBM_File Memoize::Expire Memoize::ExpireFile Memoize::ExpireTest Memoize::NDBM_File Memoize::SDBM_File Memoize::Saves Memoize::Storable * Mark Jason Dominus [2018-02-23 14:54]: > I have some modules in core (Memoize, Tie::File) and others that are > not but that are more or less widely used (Text::Template, maybe some > others).

One less critter hanging around in my rescue shelter. It was essentially case (a), from when MJD gave up his first-come on everything he owned.

Re: MJD’s modules that you have first-come on

With the state of the documentation on some of these, I feel this minimal approach would be misleading to someone running into them in my CPAN directory. I’ll wager that the least documented ones are by dint of that fact also the least likely ones to have anyone contacting MJD about them, however, so I’ll prioritise accordingly.

Adopt HTML::Tiny and Parallel::Iterator?
Hi, Andy Armstrong has given up almost all of his dists for adoption. I would like to take over the HTML::Tiny module (which already lists me as a co-author) and the Parallel::Iterator module (to which I have contributed before). Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
