That reminds me that there was a request for a CPAN::Reporter config
option to CC reports to something other than the author.  I'll see if
I find time to hack that in soon.  (Bad week, though.)

If I can, I'll update my smoker with 0.2808_02 and set CPAN to prefer
M::B.  A full smoke test of all of CPAN is about a 3 or 4 day job.

That said -- I'm not sure that hitting this list with a couple
thousand fail reports in a few days is tolerable...  :-)

Maybe we can set up a google group or something to receive the reports
for analysis.  And best would be a filter that passed only the reports
that used M::B, if that could be done in some standard way.
