Re: invitation for you and your packages to join the pkg-perl team
Thanks, I have added your package to the list here for possible
future adoption:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/OpenTasks/UpForAdoption
FWIW, the package has a popcon of 224, so it's probably still of use to
some people. Thus, whilst it's not a burden to maintain, I'd expect
it will stay.
Cheers,
Dominic.
