This has been in MetaCPAN since early times, so I'm guessing maybe 5 years that it has been around? It's a bit late to just back out of the change. I'd rather get consensus on how to improve it rather than to gut it entirely, unless there's consensus on just removing it. > > If one wants to submit patches, I'm not aware of where the source > to the cpan 'site' is posted such that one could submit diffs against it. > Is it a module in CPAN? :-) https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-developer Pull requests are very much appreciated, but it's generally a good idea to discuss patches with us first, so that everybody is on the same page.
