in thread Help taking over maintainership of a CPAN module

It’s now been over a month since I contacted the PAUSE admins, and I haven’t received any reply at all. What should I do now? Any ideas for the next step? :)

    You could try to nudge the process by sending a reminder mail to perl-modules with the (new address of the) original author in CC.

    Maybe send a reply to your request in another week if you still haven't heard anything? I think PAUSE is down to a single admin, and they appear to have been inactive for a while beginning Sept 19, but did just respond to one request yesterday.
      It has now been over three months since I contacted the PAUSE admins. I don’t expect a reply at this point, but if anybody has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

        That's very long indeed. You could try joining irc.perl.org and in the #perl or #toolchain or #p5p channel ask for somebody to help you.
