Hi Laura, I think the issue is the number of modules, and some action is timing out.
I discovered a way around this: • First click on "Add comaintainers" in the side bar on PAUSE • In the blurb at the top, you'll see there's a link to "Add Comaintainers per module" • If you go there, you get a list of all your modules, and you can tick them individually and then give someone, such as Dora, co-maint. • This is a lot more tedious than just selecting a distribution name and letting PAUSE work out the associated modules, but it doesn't seem to have the timeout problem. Could you split the old modules off into a different distribution, and direct people to that if they want to use an older version of the interface? You've managed to push PAUSE further than anyone else ever has, so you should feel proud. Maybe. :-) Cheers, Neil On 11 Mar 2026 at 14:50 +0000, Laura Chevalier via modules <[email protected]>, wrote: > Hey Neil, > > I've tried accessing the "Add Comaintainers" page again now that old releases > have been deleted, but I'm still running into 504s.
