Are they all?  I'm pretty sure I've encountered a case of not getting
them for a module I took over maintenance of.  When reporting a bug I
always look at the module's doc and if the maintainer doesn't
specifically mention RT then I instead use the e-mail address he does
provide.

I think I've had reports from there mailed to me.

That was discussed on this list soon after it launched.  My memory is
that we decided that it was OK for AnnoCpan to alert an author the first
time a comment is made on her module, and then give the option of
subscribing to future alerts.
