So, the PAUSE powers that be made me a 'maintainer' of a project that appears lightly used but has needed a fix for a couple of years. I have thrown it into my versioning system, applied my patches and updated Changes and the version number.

What is not clear to me after looking around, is how I upload the new tarball so it will show up within the original (awol) author's directory. Is it as simple as uploading it into my own userid space? I'm afraid it will show up as my own project under my own name when I'd like it to just go to the author's space where it belongs.

Links to the documentation I am obviously overlooking welcome :)
