That's a bit dated, but the basic procedure looks OK.

That seems fine, too.

First, look at ~/.cpanreporter/reports-sent.db.  That has CPAN::Reporter's
record of distributions tested.  If you see lots of things there and nothing
in your mail queue, then it's possibly an issue with the mailer.  Check your
mailer logs for inbound connections.

Reports are sent after each distribution is tested, unless a similar report
has already been sent.  Either way, the CPAN shell output that goes
scrolling by will indicate whether a report was sent or not.

Help me understand what you mean by "workflow" and I may be able to point
you to more details that will help you write it up.
