I'm sure everybody who read this thought "Someone else will answer",
so it didn't get done.  No, perl@ is not the same as ports at .  It's not
generally a good idea to have important ports (like p5-Moose) relying
on a single person or maintainer-timeouts if a sane community is
available to handle the job.  Please pass maintainer-ship back to
perl at .

(Speaking as the former maintainer of p5-Moose, who helped prove the
point made above).
