• The META.yml files in older versions of your distro can’t
  change even though the info in them would no longer be correct.

• Doing this via META.yml means the only way to update this info
  is to push out a new release.

Clearly this info should live somewhere and search.cpan should
use it, but META.yml is the wrong place. It belongs somewhere
unversioned.

Unfortunately we don’t already have such a thing, and setting it
up just for the bugtracker etc. info involves much bigger changes
by more people than the incremental changes needed for doing that
via META.yml, so there’s virtually no point in me pointing out
that we could do better, but anyway.
