Report are submitted to the "Metabase", which stores all the reports. Reports are then extracted and transformed on the "main" CPAN Testers site. We have had ongoing problems of reports submitted to the Metabase not getting picked up by CPAN Testers. We believe this is due to Amazon SimpleDB (which Metabase uses to index submitted reports) being completely shitty. Periodically, Barbie and I (mostly Barbie) figure out what reports are missing and sync them up. We have for a long while, had loose plans to migrate off Amazon, but this has stalled due to an amazing lack of tuits and to a lesser extent a lack of resources. Mostly, people are patient, but sometimes people want to see that their reports are submitted *RIGHT AWAY*, so we have the "tail log" that just shows recent submissions and the pass/fail status. No one has every said that is missing reports (which is interesting since it's also derived from a SimpleDB query), so people are looking to use it to capture basic pass/fail data even without the underlying report.
