Just to make it clear. rt.cpan.org uses distribution name as queue identifier and expects it uniquelly identify a "project". For sync it uses files available on every CPAN mirror. Here is what happened. As you've uploaded a distribution X (fake) with module FOO and that module is not in original X then you got your permissions on FOO. Permissions are per module, not per distribution. CPAN2RT just maps permissions to modules, modules to distributions and grants collected set of authors maintainership of the distribution's queue. rt.cpan.org would win for sure from a new meta information DB published to CPAN mirrors. For example meta.sqlite.db that contains distributions' info, releases' info (versions), authors' info, maintainers per distribution, modules per distribution. I think it's all rt.cpan.org needs at this moment. -- Best regards, Ruslan.
