You have co-maint on Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::BioPerl.  Note that the Pod::Weaver module wasn't in the original submission; we'll need you to transfer primary maint to BIOPERLML when you can (you should still be co-maint on it).

It will be deprecated for most use cases for the reasons you mention, but yes it will need to be fixed to deal with things for the time being, at least until we can get Dist::Zilla running for the main bioperl repo.
