Hi,

I've been trying to get hold of the author (WROG: Roger Crew) for some changes to fix a bug in this module.
Attempts to contact him over 2 months has failed.
Other bug reports with patches have similarly been ignored, so perhaps he's no longer involved in maintaining this very useful module.

I'd like to release a new version of this module (or get one of the co-maints to do it) that fixes a fairly simple bug.
Mentioned here:
GitHub pull request:

Could I get added as a co-maint or get hold of someone that has access to this module?

Thanx for the help,
Vernon (VLYON)

Hi Vernon, Roger, Robert, Martin, Brad,
The module in question is already co-maintained by Roger (primary
maintainer), Robert (see CC), Martin (also in CC), and Brad (umm, in CC).

Could one of the maintainers please get back to Vernon about his
proposed bugfixes *or* give me green light to add him as a co-maintainer
in his own right?

Best regards,
Steffen
(for the PAUSE admins)

I should really be taken off co-maint for this set of modules. At the
time I picked it up it looked like I was at the start of a long-term
project that would require a lot of work on these modules, but then the
direction changed and not long after that I got a new job.

Its unlikely that I'll have much to do with Net::OpenID in the near
future and I am certainly not a good person to be guiding their
development.

Cheers,
Rob.

I have no problem with giving Vernon co-maint on this. Probably makes
sense to also give co-maint on the sister modules Net::OpenID::Consumer
and Net::OpenID::Server; the ::Common distribution is just some common
code used by both of these.

As with Robert I no longer have the time to maintain this guy since I'm
no longer actively working on any projects with OpenID support.

Oversight if anything. No intention to escalate[1]. As long as there's a
responsive co-maintainer, the PAUSE admins have nothing to do.

[1] Technically, getting PAUSE admins involved is the real escalation. :)

So, I'm actually still here (I did reply to Vernon over a week ago,
so I'm not sure why Steffen is escalating this now, but anyway...).

Yes, the last couple of months have been a bit crazy (sorry about
that), but I'm digging out, and there should be some updates in the
next week or so...
