Oh, and if you want to join the fun and help a bit, here's a (probably

Would the metrics for community support channels that were suggested a
while ago be welcome? (The discussion about them sort of died out :-\)

The question then might be if that channel is used. E.g. are there (recent)
posts on the forum? How many posts are there? Have the questions been
answered? Has the module author blessed the channel (or for that mater
decided to point people to another support channel)?
Exactly. Having a metric like "primary_community_resource: URL" (or similar)
would at least hint of which forum(s) the author intends to use. This is
obviously useful information, since it lets the user inspect the forum(s)
without first having to search for them.
Of course some authors don't care about having a community around their
software, and some don't consider their CPAN package as "important" or "big"
enough to warrant a community (despite it probably being licensed with an open
source-friendly license). These people are entirely free to continue do nothing. :)
