Creating package/uploading release problems

I tried to create/upload DB_ldap on the pear web site, but I failed miserably. If anybody can give me a hint, here are the steps I performed: 1) browsed through cvs to discover the url of the "new package" page =) 2) inserted package info and submitted the form 3) got an error message, saying I did not have permission to create this package (uhm, I was logged in, and I am the maintaner) 4) scratched my head a bit, checked the package.xml file, and yes my email address was the old one, so 5) modified package.xml and committed it to cvs 6) tried to create the package again, only to discover that "the package already exists", doh 7) ok, thinking everything is more or less what it should be, I try to upload a release for the package (btw, what is the url to upload a release?), only to find that the package has been created with no maintainer, and I have no permission to do anything on it Uhm, mysteries of the pear web site.......maybe I should have followed pear.dev more closely these last few months..... Thanks for any help Ludo
