Dear Perl Community,

Over the last 17 years, I’ve created, released, updated, and/or maintained a slew of Perl modules on CPAN. Recently my work has changed significantly, and I no longer have the time to properly care for them all. A few, like Pod::Simple and Plack::Middleware::MethodOverride have co-maintainers, but most don’t. They deserve more love than I can currently provide. All, therefore, are up for adoption.

If you regularly use my modules, use a service that depends on them, or just like to contribute the community, consider becoming a maintainer! Have a look at the list, and if you’d like to rescue an orphan module, hit me up via Twitter or email me at david at this domain.

I’ve used Subversion very occasionally since 2009, and SVN::Notify at all. Over the years, I’ve fixed minor issues with it now and then, and made the a couple of releases to address issues fixed by others. But it’s past the point where I feel qualified to maintain it. Hell, the repository for SVN::Notify has been hosted on GitHub ever since 2011. I don’t have an instance of Subversion against which to test it; nor do I have any SMTP servers to throw test messages at.

In short, it’s past time I relinquished maintenance of this module to someone with a vested interest in its continued use. Is that you? Do you need to keep SVN::Notify running for your projects, and have a few TUITs to fix the occasional bug or security issue? If so, drop me a line (david @ this domain). I’d be happy to transfer the repository.
