in thread Efforts to modernize CPAN interface?

People use hired guns to write open source for them all the time as you know. I’m curious to know if anyone has looked into this. I’m trying to gauge where Perl leadership is on this. I don’t know. If the answer is “they don’t give a shit about that and don’t think about it” that’s fine. If the answer is “they are keenly sensitive about the issue and are struggling mightily to find the resources to pull it off” that’s fine too. I just want to know what the answer is. Maybe nobody knows. I don’t.

$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

    Why not ask them?

      Good question. My answer: 1) They probably have zero interest in fielding questions from random schmucks. 2) I don't know the right person to ask. 3) It could be a sensitive topic no one is willing to talk frankly about; these kinds of things can get highly politicized within a community.

      My hope is there is some high level Monk who knows and might be willing to talk about what they might know about the topic.

        "I don't know the right person to ask"

        From the docs:

        "Software

        The PAUSE source code is kept in a git repository at git://github.com/andk/pause.git view it at https://github.com/andk/pause.

        Please file bug reports against software running on PAUSE to the github tracker. Bug report with security implication are best sent to pause-email.removed.

        Thanks to all of you for your great contributions!

        Contact email.removed or Andreas König for any questions."

        Talking to people who maintain & run the service is far more logical than rapid fire questions here.
