Actually I do not care whether or not perl packages are monitored. But
the current situation does not seem to cause much harm, because there is
hardly any negative feedback about the current situation.
Not unlikely. People maintaining only a few packages will only receive a
few mail. I am receiving many of them, often duplicates and triple from
various origins + followups from bugzilla + koji.
All in all they are adding a significant contribution to the SPAM flood
koji & Co already are emitting.
If you want to get an imagination, about the amount I am receiving,
check out the perl-list's archive:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/perl-devel/2014-February/date.html
and imagine you'd receive all of these mails 2-3 times.
Also enough
maintainers cared to add about 800 packages manually to the monitoring
system.
Well, I guess these "800" packages condense down to a very small number
of individuals.
