I was under the impression, it's the perl-sig's intention to have

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?
Correct. No one has spent any time to allow groups to be owners. This
would be a significant rearchitecting so I haven't assigned it as an EasyFix
task to anyone who has just arrived in infrastructure.
Note that the perl-sig pseudo-user could own the packages if the perl-sig
wants to continue maintaining them and doesn't want them orphaned. That
works right now. What it wouldn't grant is commit rights to the packages.
So, pseudo-user wouldn't work well...
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.
<nod> Someone could pick them up or (since we still have a list of which
packages these are) I could assign them to someone in a placeholder
capacity or as primary owner. cweyl had specifically asked that mmaslano be
made a comaintainer of all his perl* packages earlier so that seemed like it
wouldn't make waves if I set the ownership to prevent orphaning.

People on the list already asked for maintainance of various Perl group
like perl-Moose-*. So, could you go once more over those packages, which
you gave me and orphan them?
Everyone from Perl SIG can take the group of perl packages, which are
interesting for him.
The packagedb-cli can be used even by regular users to take over more
packages.
