I have an important task for getting Test::Builder 1.5 stable.
Test::Builder 1.5 outputs TAP version 13. There are minor formatting changes
including a TAP version header and changes to the ending commentary.
A lot of tests look at this output and so they break. Rather than make
everybody change their tests (and have to upgrade their Test::More
dependency), I'd rather provide a legacy TAP formatter that outputs like
Test::Builder currently does. Then folks can switch it on in their tests, and
Test::Builder::Tester will use it by default.
That's the task. Write a TAP version 12 formatter.

It's a mildly difficult task, mostly because the v13 formatter does things
which really should be done in a superclass, but it's way easier than trying
to do it in Test::Builder 0.x.
If anyone would like to take it on, please say so in the ticket and we'll try
to get things off the ground.
Thanks.
