08:59:17      @alh | Does removing a maintainer not update rt.cpan.org perms? Or can 
                   | you somehow add bug queue maintainers in rt.cpan.org                      
                   | directly...?                                                    
09:23:11  jibsheet | alh: this is almost certainly because 06perms contains           
                   | Math::BigFloat::Trace with those 4 maintainers which we then     
                   | map to the bignum dist and grant permissions                     
09:23:44      @alh | Huh. How come that's mapped to bignum?                           
09:24:27  jibsheet | because 02packages lists Math::BigFloat::Trace as being part of 
                   | the 0.36 release of the bignum tarball named .37                
09:24:45  jibsheet | but yes, if you remove a maintainer, rt.cpan.org will reap them

                   | loy/lib/CPAN2RT.pm the _permissions stuff and grepping for      
                   | 02packages 06perms is your friend
