Four years ago, I submitted code to enhance PDF::Reuse. The author indicated he would try to do a new release, but was very busy. To date, the latest release was made in 2008. I again attempted to contact the author (see below) and was greeted with a bounce notice stating the address was disabled.
Would it be possible for the PAUSE admins to attempt to contact the maintainer to see if he has a further interest in maintaining these modules[1]? If he does not, or if he can not be contacted, I am interested in taking up maintenance of them. My CPAN id is CNIGHS.

I'd love to see these enhancements added. I think they would be of benefit to the larger Perl community.
