What do you mean?

The experiment is that CPAN authors start to add this field and
MetaCPAN will display it. A patch was already sent by Yanick
to the MetaCPAN developers to display the contributors on the
page of the given module, but my hope is that you'll also be able
to list all of your contribution - even if you don't have a PAUSE id.

I wrote one post about the technique:
http://perl5maven.com/how-to-add-list-of-contributors-to-the-cpan-meta-files
and I'll write about it more later on.

regards
   Gabor
