This and the previous announcement beg the question of what the role of the Debian-perl group is supposed to be. are we obliged to take in orphaned perl packages?I don't know. I don't personally care whether the group takes these over or some other maintainer does; I've just noticed from previous emails to this list that the Debian Perl Group appears to *want* to adopt Perl packages on a large scale, so I thought it was worth offering.
That is what I was asking about. If I take the mission statement literally, we _should_ take them on.
