  If Schwern will give the nod, Ken, do you want to add this to the MB
  project? Or anyone else interested in maintainership?

 I'd be happy to host it in M::B's space, but I'm afraid I can donate
 approximately zero tuits to helping maintain it.

If needed Ill volunteer take over maintenance of this (my cpan id is
YVES) with Max (cpanid:CORION) as co-maintainer on the *nixy side.
I've cc'ed him on this mail. We'd be happy if other maintainers were
added I should think, especially if they were handling VMS. :-)

BTW, regardless of who takes over, the uninstall behaviour needs a
similar patch to what we did for install.

cheers,
Yves

There was also someone else who stepped forward at some point (or maybe 
everyone else stepped back) to take it over a few months ago, but I 
guess it hasn't happened and I'll be danged if I can't remember who it 
was.  Schwern, you remember?

I think Randy Kobes volunteered to take over some of the Modules For 
Sale[1], but I don't recall which ones; and, to the best of my 
knowledge, no one has pried any of them out of Schwern's hands yet. ;)


Actually, Schwern made a reasonable request that someone show commitment 
to maintaining them first[1]. For example, knocking of something related 
in RT[2].


Either/Both Randy or Yves would make good maintainers, and I'll help 
where I can (I'm too unpredictable and irresponsible to maintain =). 
I've put together a couple of these modules in a dist[3], and I'll try 
to help put together a non-trivial patch to help pry them loose...


Randy.
