Opting out of rt.cpan.org

[Adam Kennedy]

I'm addressing this to this mailing list mostly because the people here 
are involved in various CPAN-related infrastructure.

In an email conversation with ILYAZ over the last few days in relation 
to the outstanding bugs listed for Term::ReadLine::Perl it came up that 
he actively dislikes rt.cpan.org and so will not use it.

While I find it odd that this is so and somewhat annoying that there are 
no publicly visible bug queues for his module, he does have a legitimate 
point in that these queues exist despite the fact he doesn't want them.

This means that long bug queues persist even when they have been fixed, 
and create a high level of confusion.

So I ask the group for ideas on how we might allow authors to opt-out of 
rt.cpan.org, and thus other systems that auto-link there, such as 
search.cpan.org, might then know to NOT link to rt.cpan.org.
