Sheesh, I should think and just post once.
Anyway, as an author who does have mostly high quality distros (I think), there are still cases where CPAN testers is really useful.
Recently I shepherded the new Class::MOP and Moose releases. These included a lot of big changes, so we did dev releases specifically to get CPAN tester reports back. These reports were very helpful and we cleaned up quite a few bugs that way. This specific use case was great, and not something I'd really done before.
