If you want to take over maintainership I can get you a CVS account -
just mail [email protected] with the information from:

 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/policies/accounts/cvs.html

And mention my name. (They'll ping me to confirm)

I'm not sure about CPAN ... I might still be a maintainer of the
module and could help transfer ownership, or you might have to
track down Roger Huw. (very vague=20

The obvious caution is that CORBA::ORBit is based on ORBit1 which is
also not maintained.
