Users making agreements with PAUSE admins about what can/can't be done with their permissions and those being honoured has plenty of precedent, though. Had I not got explicit agreement before transferring anything that all I was doing was easing co-maint addition, I would absolutely not have gone down this route. So I don't believe that, no matter what the outcome, this sets nearly as widespread a precedent as you seem to be worried about here. -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our CPAN commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team.
