It seems he might be talking to you when he says, we invite any members of the Perl community who wishes to maintain the driver as a community project to work with us...

I am willing to bet you'd get some help, if there isn't already a contingent to keep this thing going already. Good luck, level up!

OTOH, for them to discontinue the module because of their "survey" seems really short sighted, but I can't say much. I don't use their DB either. xD

Update, there are 108 forks of the repo at the time of this writing. I am sure you can find out who's leading the charge. Again, if there is no one you'd likely get plenty of help. Being a module owner/maintainer is great experience. Individuals who adopt are also held in very high regard by many, myself included. So don't let it go quietly in the night. fight, fight, fight! =D
