I (= http://search.cpan.org/~shlomif/ ) have some spare time to work on open- source software. I don't believe I've used Test-Deep before, but may have used it indirectly. In any case, I volunteer to maintain the module unless and until a more suitable developer is found. > I have change history available as git or hg. > I think a Mercurial repository would be preferable because I think I like it better than git. Is there any difference between the two versions of the change history? While we discuss Test-Deep it seems to have a fairly large number of old versions on CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Deep/ . Please consider trimming them so CPAN will take less space (they are always available on backpan).
