For me, I'd say it averages a few times a month.  I'm slowly getting this down
by slogging at the problem, getting permissions transferred away from me, but
it's a pain in the rear.

I think that's good/fine/okay-at-least, too.  My reason for balking at it is
*only* that metacpan pages are also swimming in information.

I'd still make the primary person's name the easiest one to want to click to
send email to. :-)  (I know people *should* be using the bug tracker, but I
also know that they often *don't.)
