Hi,

Is it possible to publish this module in CPAN?
I could manage it.
my CPAN account: https://metacpan.org/author/SKIM

Kind regards,
Michal Josef Špaček

That would be cool, thanks for offering help with it!

Generally, this comment applies here as well:

Actually, there is one more thing that concerns me now: how do we publish these? Is it possible to somehow register a team account or something, to publish something from a team's name, like "officially"? I see that, for example, Google's packages look like that: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Google.Protobuf/ <= i.e. with "The ID prefix of this package has been reserved for one of the owners of this package by NuGet.org." and it comes from special protobuf-packages account...

If CPAN (or PAUSE?) has some organization support, we'd like to have a kaitai-io or kaitai organization there. For example, we have a kaitai-io organization in the registries NuGet and npm. However, it seems that it is somehow common on metacpan for distributions to be under an individual author, not any organization, is this correct? In this case, how does the collaboration work? Does the individual author which owns the package still have to be present for some actions? What about the bus factor?

How do other open-source projects run by a group of maintainers (not a single developer) handle this?

I read that there is some way to add collaborators to a distribution on CPAN, but does the "collaborator" role authorize to just some of the actions that the owner can do or to all of them? Can the distribution have multiple co-owners who all have the same rights?
