I think Strptime is a really important module for the DateTime suite, and has

Therefore, in the interests of ... well .. everybody ... I'm quite happy for
anyone to take it over that can give it the attention it needs. I'm also
quite happy, still, for anyone suitably qualified to be a co-maintainer of
the current code. Again if Dave or Evan want to take it over, I'm quite happy
for them to do so and from there it can take any direction the community is
happy with.
I'm going to take co-maint, at least for the next release. Primarily, I'm
interested in removing the dependency on deprecated DateTime::Locale
features. This will probably just involve moving some of that code
directly into DateTime::Format::Strptime itself.
After that, I'm open to more changes.
If we can produce something that's API-compatible with the current code
that uses POSIX underneath, _and_ it's cross-platform, that's fine with
me.
Thanks for all your work on this module over the years, Rick.
