Hi Dobrica & Derrik,

I’m emailing you wearing my PAUSE admin hat: I’m still working on resolving 
conflicts caused by PAUSE now considering package names case insensitively. 
This has left us with some situations where people are owners of namespaces 
previously considered distinct, and now considered the same.

Dobrica has ownership of the test::helper namespace, which was last indexed in 
your Fuse 0.14 release — it hasn’t been indexed for subsequent releases, 
because Derrik (DPATES) who’s done those releases, doesn’t have permission for 
it.

Your test::helper class is just used in tests, so shouldn’t really be indexed. 
If the dist was refactored:

   - rename the “test” directory to “t”, as per the CPAN convention
   - move any test libraries to t/lib/

then PAUSE wouldn’t try to index it or check permissions, as it ignores any 
modules found in the t/ directory.

In the meantime, I’d like to resolve the permissions clash by dropping your 
permissions on “test::helper”. This won’t stop Fuse from being indexed, or 
prevent people from installing Fuse. Are you happy for me to do this?

Cheers,
Neil
