Hello folks,
I've noticed that quite a few modules have maintainers, who take
over when an author goes AWOL. What is the process for for
achieving that?
perldoc -q module
or
perldoc perlfaq7
I also recall a blog post by Brian D Foy on the subject of adoptation:
http://blogs.perl.org/users/brian_d_foy/2013/02/mark-your-modules-as-adoptable-if-you-dont-want-them.html
Granted, that talks *mostly* about the current maintainer actively
passing control, but there's a passage:
"[…] when someone comes to the PAUSE admins asking to take over a
module, we can short circuit our normally conservative "announce
publicly and wait" process to transfer it immediately."
