The email contact details are there, just suppressed by the NNTP web
gateway to avoid email harvesting by spambots.  If you have a real
NNTP client, you'll see the email.  Also, see Google Groups (though
you have to solve a captcha to reveal the email):

Some time ago, I believe the various smoker programs (and/or testers)
opted not to cc authors on NA reports as they were frequently
triggering angry email responses along the lines of "I know my module
doesn't work on X platform, stop bothering me and go away!"

Once again, I look forward to "CPAN Testers 2.0" when authors can set
contact preferences centrally.
