OK. I committed an updated image-exiftool-pm, with myself as the maintainer. I'll \
examine the other of Benjamin's packages that I am interested in to see which ones \
are within my skill set to maintain.
Thanks,

Sounds like the perfect process for the ones you want. I've been
surrogate parent for his perlmods and many others for a few years but
don't keep close track of all their CPAN releases on a regular
basis...feel free to formally claim any you want. Along the way you can
always remove:
UseMaxBuildJobs:true
since that's now default (lots of packages have slow release cycles,
dating back to when that was not-default behavior).
