Well, I was already given COMAINT, but he is free to deprive me of it if he wishes. I don't see any repository mentioned anywhere inside the documentation or the META.YML, and I set up the GitHub repository before I saw his message. I don't mind exporting my changes to a different repository, assuming one exists (which I doubt), or to give the author a commit bit to my GitHub repository, but one should realise that before I came along String-Random did not had a release since 2006, and accumulated two bugs in rt.cpan.org to which the author did not reply, and the CPAN admins and I waited for over a month for Steven to come back to us before I was given COMAINT (although in the latter case, he had a good excuse for that), so I think me taking over in this case was justified. I apologise for any mis-wording of my original message, but I think you just jumped into conclusions. > > See you when I'll be back, > Shmuel. Looking forward to it.
