Please, please be careful who you transfer permissions to -- "any interested person" leaves open the possibility that someone meaning well could take over who is not sufficiently qualified to maintain modules of such importance to the Perl ecosystem. If you wish to give up first-come permissions entirely, I would suggest giving first-come to one of the PAUSE admins or the pumpking, who can suitably vet any successors.
