Thank you for taking this on. Given your other dists and experience, we don’t have a problem with you adopting it. Normally the previous maintainer retains co-maint, but in this case Gisle made it clear that he doesn’t want to be contacted about his old distributions, so I’ve dropped his co-maint. If you’ve time, it would be great if you could do a release fairly soon please, just so it’s listed on CPAN against you and not Gisle. Cheers, Neil
