I certainly don't mean to humiliate anyone. Please accept my apologies.
However, does making CPAN a better place require publishing a Hall of Shame on
perl.org?
http://cpants.perl.org/highscores/hall_of_shame
I think what I want from CPANTS is conceptually simple:
* tell me (and my potential users) if a recent upload is well-behaved (all but
three of the core metrics achieve this)
* provide optional information as information alone (packaged by various OS
distributions, used by other CPAN distributions)
* drop the game, with winners and losers and (especially) scores
