Joining the pkg-perl Alioth project; adopting libmail-spf-query-perl

[Julian Mehnle]

Hi all,

I have been lurking on the debian-perl and pkg-perl-maintainers lists for a 
few months.  Now I would like to join the pkg-perl Alioth project and help 
maintain a few Perl packages.  I am not a DD, but I have been maintaining 
several Perl packages for my personal use that are on CPAN but not in 
Debian, some of which I should probably contribute.

My Alioth username is "jmehnle-guest".  Could one of the project admins 
please add me to the project?

I am also a participant in the SPF project[1], and so I'd like to start my 
pkg-perl work by adopting the libmail-spf-query-perl package, which has 
recently been orphaned (sort of) by its former maintainer, Chip Salzenberg 
[2].

Chip also wrote to me:

So adopting the package should be fine.

A new release of Mail::SPF::Query is coming up soon, too.  It will resolve 
some of the bugs listed in the Debian bug tracker[5].

M:S:Q has its own Subversion repository[6] so it shouldn't be necessary to 
add it to the pkg-perl repo, right?

Julian.
