I'm very, very pleased to announce that Leon Timmermans has volunteered to be the new M::B patch/release manager and received his co-maint bit today.
Leon has been working on abstracting the Build.PL API through his work on Module::Build::Tiny and has gotten very familiar with the guts of Module::Build as a result. He is also working to extract more of the reusable bits of Module::Build for other parts of the toolchain to reduce duplication. In my discussion with him about the role, he said that he is not planning on any major work to Module::Build, but has agreed to shepherd the future release process to ensure that his refactoring and other incremental changes are tested and released for CPAN and blead. Thank you very much, Leon! -- David
