I'm looking to get a co-maint bit for Text-Balanced since the owner (DMANURA) has not responded to any requests for a long time now (see emails below). Is this the right place to ask?
I've also enquired whether either of the two existing co-maintainers could roll out a new release. They both responded to email, but neither has followed up with a release... This module has been out of sync with what's in blead for a long time now, and I'm primarily just looking to get that straightened out. I'm unlikely to become an active maintainer of the module myself, but I will happily roll out new releases with changes from blead. My CPAN ID is SHAY. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Steve Hay <steve.m....@googlemail.com> Date: 13 January 2015 at 17:58 Subject: Re: Perl CPAN distribution 'Text-Balanced' To: a...@ali.as Cc: davidm.c...@math2.org, Damian Conway <dam...@conway.org>, ad...@cpan.org Is there any way to get this moving? I had the reply below from Adam, plus "I would be very happy if David were to make Steve a co-maintainer. (Having given up control of the module, I can't do so myself)." from Damian, but sadly no reply from David, nor when I emailed him again individually a month or so later (18 Oct 2013). It sounds like only David could give me a co-maint bit, so if there is still no reply from David then is there any chance that either of the other two co-maintainers (Adam and Damian) could make a release? Or is this a case of the Keepers of the PAUSE needing to step in if the primary maintainer of a module (one that's in core at that!) still doesn't reply?
