I can definitely see the desire for this metadata, but it feels to me like it would be better tracked in a separate file, such as Charles's proposed upstream metadata file. This feels like an unreliable way to provide that mapping anyway, since people's e-mail addresses and even the forms of their names vary over time, and I'm not sure you'd reliably get the right data. I think you'd want to have a field somewhere where you can track people by CPAN ID, which wouldn't change. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
