Seems like it's already pass. I thought it was in two weeks time but
that's soft freeze. Debian is already in transition freeze so large
changes are no longer acceptable.

I can still prepare the debian package for unstable.

Ah, well unstable is fine.  Maybe we can add a milestone for the next stable?

Sure. I can run 'dzil release' in bioperl-live from my computer, no
problem. It only takes a few minutes. Do I have the permissions in
PAUSE to do it?

I could also do this but it would be better to have another dev under the umbrella.  Let me try adding you under the BIOPERLML umbrella, or at least give you co-maint on the modules.
