Can you give me co-maint on Crypt::RandPasswd please?

The original author is John Douglas Porter (JDPORTER). I first emailed
him on 13th August, and again on 16th September, but have had no
response. I previously emailed you (PAUSE admins) requesting co-maint 2
months ago (20th September).

Crypt::RandPasswd was last released 21 July 2000, and has a critical
bug, as mentioned in my review of modules for generating passwords:

I emailed John saying that I'd fixed the bug, and if he didn't want to
do a release, would be happy to release the fix.

I'll also update the pod to link to the review, and mention the main
other modules of note.

I've given Neil co-maintenance permission for Crypy::RandPasswd. John, if you read this and object, please speak up. This is reversible and done in good faith.

Best regards,
Steffen
(for the PAUSE admins)
