I’m not sure if this was caused by the recent issue with PAUSE, or something 
else, but I’ve just transferred first-come from ADOPTME to JGAMBLE, and have 
confirmed that the permissions have moved.

When I log in to PAUSE, it still shows it as owned by ADOPTME.

I’m one of the PAUSE admins.

I was surprised to see Algorithm-SkipList marked as owned by
ADOPTME in

PAUSE, which is not the case in MetaCPAN, where it is owned by Robert

Rothenburg (although it is marked for adoption, see

).


As Dan Book pointed out, when you search for a module on CPAN, by 
default you’re shown the release that’s in the CPAN Index. Usually 
that’s the most recent release, but it might not be (for example 
developer releases don’t go in the index, and if the uploader didn’t 
have any indexing permission(s), then it would also not be indexed). 
And the person listed against it is the person who uploaded it.


What is the process for adoption, assuming that RRWO is amenable?


Given it’s marked as ADOPTME, the process is that you ask the PAUSE 
admins, and it’s polite to ask for the blessing of the previous owner 
(and Robert has given that). If the distribution is depended on by a 
lot of other CPAN modules, then we’ll consider whether you’re the 
right person to take it on, or at least that you’re aware that 
releasing a broken version could result in a cascade of failures. If 
you hover over the bars next to the distribution name, you’ll see that 
two distributions depend on this, which isn’t concerning.


So I’ve transferred first-come from ADOPTME to you, for all the 
modules in the distribution. Thanks for taking this on.


Final point: when you submit requests like these, please include your 
PAUSE id. I hope JGAMBLE was the right John Gamble? ;-)

Thank you. I also recall you mentioning that you had a project that used 
skip lists that needed to use Perl 5.8. Is this still the case?

  The author displayed on a PAUSE release page is the author that uploaded
that release. It has no bearing on the permissions for the modules in the
distribution, other than that they had some permission at the time of
upload (if it doesn't say UNAUTHORIZED).
