"What happens when it breaks" is the biggest worry I have about the
webby thing. However, in this case, then all things being equal we're
just as likely to sprout 50+ FAIL reports in someone's mailbox as in
their RT queues. They'll be pissed off either way :-)
In my case I'd be doubly pissed off, cos all my new RT tickets
eventually show up in my mailbox, courtesy of some evil shell scripting!
I'm most concerned by what happens if it goes down and refuses to accept
test results - right now, they just get queued up by testers' MTAs and
eventually show up when the perl.org MX appears again, but with a webby
submission thing, then either Test::Reporter has to queue them locally
and retry later, or just throw them away.
