This is a bug report for perl from walde.christian@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.18.4.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I ran into a bug in Cwd and while trying to figure out who's responsible,
who can help with fixing it, where to fix it, and other related facts, i
found that the situation of the entire dist is very unclear.
The dist itself still claims Ken Williams is the maintainer.
The dist itself on sco and metacpan points at
https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=PathTools
Said page lists FLORA, KJALB, KWILLIAMS, RJBS, SMUELLER as releasers.
The RT queue has 69 open tickets (more than resolved), most of them over 3
years old old.
The most recent releaser has been RJBS, presumably in his capacity of
pumpking.
RJBS claims he doesn't have a lot of expertise to offer.
The official repository according to RJBS is blead in /dist/PathTools.
The committers to that have been a wide variety of perl5porters.
Relatedly, the lack of link to source repo, and some confusion about
responsibility has also been discussed here:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=116342
As such the questions i ask of p5p is:
Is p5p collectively currently the responsible maintainer?
If not, who is?
If so, should the ticket queue be moved over to perlbug, and the dist
point at perlbug as well?
