Those all sound good.  Also, we may want to define a policy for which
Perl packages are allowed into Extras.  (for example, do they have to be
in CPAN first?)

I just did a query and there 67 open bugs in perl* components of FC and
FE.  This doesn't seem like all that many to me.  I like the idea of an
auto-CC to fedora-perl-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxx  Additionally, I think it would
be worthwhile to email this list when a new Perl component is added (or
removed) from bugzilla.
