Hi Lincoln,

I've come to the conclusion that I don't have the interest, to continue t=
o maintain Sys::SigAction.

There are several things you could do.

There are 19 distributions that use Sys::SigAction =E2=80=93=C2=A0you cou=
ld contact the authors of those to see if any of those would like to adop=
t it, or help.

You could give co-maint to the special pseudo-user NEEDHELP. When you do =
that, MetaCPAN will display a banner when people look at the module. See,=
 for example=C2=A0https://metacpan.org/pod/X11::Muralis

Similarly, you could give co-maint to ADOPTME, or even transfer first-com=
e to it. This results in a slightly different message:=C2=A0https://metac=
pan.org/pod/WebAPI::DBIC

If you don=E2=80=99t plan to ever do any more work on the module, ADOPTME=
 is more appropriate. It=E2=80=99s a more established mechanism, and ther=
e are people who look for modules to adopt.

Think up a bunch of ways to improve the distribution, and add them all as=
 RT tickets. Then write a blog post saying you=E2=80=99re looking for som=
eone to adopt it, and that there=E2=80=99s a ready-made list of things to=
 work on. Would be good for the test coverage to be high before doing thi=
s. If it isn=E2=80=99t, add that to the list ;-)

Cheers,
Neil
