Yeah, the language in my post doesn't match your reply because I quickly found that you cannot give admin to others, only upload. I still say you could sort it out with WWW::Mechanize. I really don't think they'd object. I bet you could even get the github guys to add a service updater gadget.

You could also fork pause on github and just write the patch. I wonder if andk would pull it in. There's two obstacles. Since people already use co-maint and expect it to mean a certain thing, you'd have to create a new perm name for co-primary or something. Second, you couldn't just give primary maint to more than one person because the module list only has a spot for one author name.

... hrm, I also definitely understand you. I don't know why you think I don't. I'm just thinking of ways around the problem. Believe me, I'm underwhelmed by this process so far -- on the other hand, I'd really hate it if I woke up one morning and they pulled the maintainership so I couldn't upload a new version... or worse, that someone else uploaded a version that changed the API all around and I had no way to block it -- not that I write anything anybody cares about. I'm just saying that some people definitely don't need this wiki stuff.

I can't imagine trying to use LWP if anybody could just go in and change the meaning of get(). And while the vast majority of the edits would likely be well meaning, some wouldn't be. And some of those well meaning ones would be pretty bad. I'm sure you've seen the SoPW section here?
