Re: What to do about the fact that installing https://metacpan.org/release/TimeDate became broken after 1 Jan 2020 ?

I was also asking Graham to help him releasing the module,
and I would appreciate to have co-maint on the module too 
this would limit such issues in the future.

my pause id is @atoomic

thanks
