I don't think this really matters anyway; these days few people use
the CPAN module registration/module list thing. Most modules are
"first-come" (meaning whoever uploads something with that module
namespace gets it -- note, though, he doesn't own the entire
LEOCHARRE* namespace; but it's doubtful anyone else would care to use
it).

This is particularly insightful. I clearly hadn't looked at the code
yet, so I'm not sure what we can do about this. Maybe it would be
better if we just patched Wordpress::XMLRPC to include the relevant
code -- though maintaining that could be a nightmare too.
