  I would *also* like the ability to pick a different bug tracking system to display information on search.cpan, but rt.cpan.org is intolerably slow. Faster would be much, much better -- and possibly a second grant for other improvements.

    FWIW, I've been in the process of moving my queues for {Test::,}WWW::Mechanize over to Google Code because of the slow. Also, because I like Google Code's bug tracking facilities more than RT.

      Yeah, I saw your recent post to module-authors (?). I don't mind RT per se, but rt.cpan.org's slowness, plus some other issues*, make it a big pain.
      
      * Some examples

      1. can't easily get a listing of all bugs for all my queues

      3. logins are way, way too short-lived (compounds slowness)

        being bound to RT by default is problematic.

        Yeah. There are a number of distributions that maintain their own bugtrackers (which may well be integrated with source control, like Trac is).

In fact, DOAP [usefulinc.com] has a specific property for bugtracker URL; see the discussion on miyagawa's journal [perl.org].

          META.yml *has* a place for this:

          It's just that search.cpan.org doesn't do anything about it.

            Oh, right. Well, people here know how I feel about search.cpan.org.
