This autumn, Randy Kobes, perhaps best known for the alternate CPAN web interface kobesearch, passed away.

If you care about one of the modules that he maintained, adopt it! Write to modules@perl.org to let one of the admins know that you'd like to be a maintainer.

I've updated his PAUSE account so I get his bug reports and so on, but I'm unlikely to do any maintenance on his modules unless I can merely apply the patch and release.
