I do, perl@ is a handful of committers, on the top of my head, az, crees, culot, sunpoet and myself, those are allowed to set the maintainer to perl@. For the other, the thing is clear, perl@ is not a garbage maintainer for things people would like added but don't want to maintain after that. We already have ports@ for that. There is a policy for perl@ to handle Perl related PR, but only the PR, and because committers there may have When we got perl@ created way back when, the idea was to have a team for important Perl stuff, not for maintaining the whole of CPAN. -- Mathieu Arnold
