&lt;p&gt; &lt;i&gt; It is like an actual branch/fork, rather than a patch file  &lt;/i&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Since PAUSE indexer detects unauthorized release, it could notify the maintainers ( authorized authors ) along the lines

&lt;p&gt; Hi, author &lt;b&gt;MARKSTOS&lt;/b&gt; has forked/branched your dist  &lt;b&gt; CGI.pm-3.50 &lt;/b&gt; , see it at [https://metacpan.org/release/MARKSTOS/CGI.pm-3.51/]
&lt;p&gt; You can see what changed at [https://metacpan.org/diff/release/LDS/CGI.pm-3.50/MARKSTOS/CGI.pm-3.51]
&lt;p&gt; If you like what you see, consider offerint this author an invitation to become a maintainer, his fork/branch could become official/authorized
