Yes, actually, that's a good idea.
Test::Reporter::Transport::HTTPGateway -- it was intended to be a
simple HTTP to email relay, but the gateway itself is subclassable, so
filtering a subset of reports to the M::B list or doing additional
analysis could be added.

(That said, I'm not sure I'd suggest holding up a release waiting for
me/others to get it all written in the next couple weeks.)

That's a hard problem right now.  CPAN Testers 2.0 (still in the
design stage) might well support capturing TAP archives, allowing more
detailed analysis of exactly which tests fail, but that still a long
ways off.
