Is that definitely what's happening?

When I upload new releases of HTML-Widget, the pause indexer returns
an error because I don't have co-maint on all of the sub-modules.
I had thought the UNAUTHORISED message was related to that.

For example, the latest release returned errors for the following modules:
HTML::Widget::Constraint::AllOrNone
HTML::Widget::Constraint::DependOn
HTML::Widget::Constraint::In
HTML::Widget::Element::RadioGroup
HTML::Widget::Element::Reset
I've just done a cpan search for those, and they return v1.05 by Jess
Robinson, so I'm guessing that they were claimed 'first-come' by Jess
when she uploaded a dist, and the error's occuring because I've only
had co-maint added for the modules which sri owned.
