Well, to me, the reason to submit packages to Fedora is to have the bits I'm interested in widely and easily available, without having to set up my own 3rd party repository (VCS, bug tracker, buildsystem, hosting, etc, etc). It's a little extra work for a lot of extra gain; and I have scripts that automate the more tedious/routine bits. A review is mandated as part of the submission process... It's pretty straight forward, and for packages created with cpanspec or the like, essentially pro forma at this point.What advantage would that give?

anyone who wants them. I'm not sure why they need another level of
validation.
Eventually, my plan is to monitor CPAN and to automatically rebuild
modules as they are uploaded. I'm also going to make them available at
http://rpm.pkgs.cpan.org/. I don't really see any need for this to be
part of the Fedora project (particularly as I build RPMs for Centos too).
There's also a larger group of people than "just me" interested in Perl in Fedora, which has its advantages.
But, TMTOWTDI :-) I know I'd like to see a more up-to-date set of Perl packages for RHEL/Centos, as we use that in places at $work and the restrictions around EPEL make it pretty unworkable for me.
