Hi Monks - Hoping for help on two questions regarding the Maintaining of a CPAN Module.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The first one is very basic - but I want to be sure: 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;As a co-maintainer, if I want to update a module do I have to do anything other than simply upload a version of that module with a higher version number?&lt;/b&gt; - &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPAN#Uploading_distributions_with_PAUSE"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; indirectly seems to say so but I just wanted to be sure. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
My second question is regarding ongoing maintenance: 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Recently I was &lt;a href="/?node_id=1014071"&gt;pointed to git&lt;/a&gt; and told that its a good option for holding code. I just want to make sure that I dont end up with two places to check on bug reports from although I would appreciate any kind of fixes that people would want to submit. Also, code versioning will not be what I use git for - I use SVN for that. So the main advantage will be collaboration. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
So my question is: &lt;b&gt;Does it make sense to also host on git?&lt;/b&gt; or is that just redundant? Has anyone found that hosting on git encourages people to submit fixes? 
&lt;/p&gt;
