I have changed the Uploaders and Maintainers name to use my name and
Debian perl team [1]. I have spoke with on #debian-perl and they're
ok with me taking over the package there. And I'm honest about it, I
have now packaged 8 perl packages [2].

I have removed the comment from d/copyright. I didn't realize a new
release wold be necessary just for the takeover (I also configured the
package with autopkgtest but nothing that would change what gets
installed). A new release is now pending review from a Debian
developer.
