CPAN Test reports follow a fairly rigid format that computers can easily
detect. I think it's worth auto-whitelisting messages that look like
"FAIL Foo::Bar 3.14_15" or "PASS Hello::World 2.71". The CPAN::Reporter
(?) and CPANPLUS mails look about the same, and that's the bulk of the
traffic. If you allowed those and had to moderate replies from the
author, requests for more info, etc., I think that would reduce the need
for human intervention. (Maybe you're already doing this... I don't know.)
Another idea is to have a BitCard (or something) -protected area where
you (or your software) can upload test reports on your behalf. I have
machines that I'd like to send test reports from, but don't run an MTA
(Cygwin). If I could HTTP POST the reports somewhere, that would be
good. Plus, if someone starts spamming, you can just shut off their
BitCard account.
