T::MO and T::MO::E appear not to work correctly and that there may be
method-as-function bugs causing the problem, I'll again get a flurry of bug reports that I'll have to shunt to other distributions. More likely, they'll linger in a mail folder for a while and I'll delete them, months later. I am *not* the person you want reporting bugs that don't affect me. Attempts to
make them affect me do not work.  That's just how my brain works.

The emailing of reports clearly has to stop unless a user requests them. Reports should be submitted as structured data to a Web service, and that Web service should decide what to do with the reports (put them into various RSS/Atom feeds, submit requested email reports to authors, etc.). I think this is the main thing that will make CPAN Testers reports easier to swallow, as it were.

Best,

David
