For example, today David Golden prepared a new version of Sub::Uplevel --

Neat... but Q) Looking at your list I see a few things that I expected
to be fixed already.
Are you using a Mini-CPAN Mirror by chance?
No, though I certainly could, since I have a minicpan on the same
machine. I'd just have to remember that I have it and then keep it
up-to-date.
So what you see is as of earlier today from cpan. I suspect that one of
the biggest challenges we will face is getting people to do an actual
release as opposed to, say, merging a p.r. to their github master branch.
If I had/have time to do a more sophisticated version of this, I'd
figure out a way to distinguish between those distros that truly sit at
the top of "error trees" -- Sub::Uplevel and Sub::Identify, for instance
-- and those which may have many distros failing underneath them but
where the real failure is above them -- e.g., Devel::OverloadInfo.
