comaintainer who were inactive were likewise removed from packages.

The perl-* packages owned by cweyl were reassigned ownership to mmaslano,
one of the comaintainers under the assumption that this was what the perl
team would desire.
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.
