I was under the impression, it's the perl-sig's intention to have 
packages which loose its primary maintainer, to be "colaboratively" 
maintained. It's at least how I remember the situation when JPO had quit 
and had left 100s of packages behind.

IIRC, back then, packages having had a co-maintainer had been assigned 
to the 1st co-comaintainer or somebody having stood up to voluneer 
filling the gap. Those remaining without maintainer were assigned to 
"spot as placeholder", because the packagedb wasn't able to cope with 
"maintainer == perl-sig".
I guess the packagedb situation hasn't sufficiently improved since then?

Anyway, I just noticed the iburrell packages also are on your list. IMO, 
these should likely followup the "cweyl treatment", because much of perl 
would not be usable without them.
