Hi, Neil. It's been 7 weeks. I presume there's been no response from DORMAND=
O? Is there a typical timeframe that you need to wait for a response?

I appreciate that you don't want to be too hasty on such matters, of course,=
 but, while DORMANDO was the original maintainer in this namespace, Alexei (=
PALIK) has been effectively the only maintainer on all Gearman modules for o=
ver a decade....

Thanks,
Ed
