Hi Andy,

> Can someone please assign me COMAINT on B-LexInfo, rather than making Doug do it himself?

The right place to ask for permissions changes etc is the PAUSE Admins mailing list, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, which I’ve copied on this email.

I do read this list (and am pretty sure other PAUSE admins do), but I only catch up with it sporadically, whereas modules@ lands in my inbox.

I’ll make the permissions change, but there will be a small delay as DOUGM doesn’t have ownership of the other module in the dist (Apache::RegistryLexInfo), so I need Andreas’s intervention to help with that first. I’ll let you know when it’s done.

Cheers,
Neil
