Thanks for helping get the word out. I did a talk on Tuesday about building a distribution, and I was surprised at how much infrastructure people were NOT aware of, such as rt.cpan.org and the CPAN Testers.

  Actually, rt.cpan.org is something I forgot to mention. Thomas Klauser emailed me to remind me of CPANTS too. I'll update the slides with the extra references and hopefully upload them by the end of today.
  I think in some cases it's fine to not know about the effort behind the scenes, as the volunteers (for the most part) are not seeking fame and gratitude. However, when you make people aware occasionally of all the extra effort that is done, it does help them to appreciate and value what all those volunteers do. And sometimes it inspires others to get involved ... and for that alone the talk worked :)
