I don't believe any approval is necessary anymore.  But sometimes
there is a delay in things getting from the email servers to NNTP,
particularly since the volume of test reports is way up lately.
(Oops!  ;-)

I scanned the last 10,000 NNTP reports.  You seem to account for 60 of
them.  Does that sound about right?

I propose a documentation correction in the CPAN::Reporter pod. It says:

"Because cpan-testers uses a mailing list to collect test reports, it is 
helpful if the email address provided is subscribed to the list. 
Otherwise, test reports will be held until manually reviewed and 
approved. Subscribing an account to the cpan-testers list is as easy as 
sending a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and replying to 
the confirmation email."

Yes, it sounds right. I hope I can up the count a bit more... The only 
sour bit is that the platform under which I'm testing is slowly crawling 
into disuse, and I'm hand testing (don't want to install an automated 
tester for now...).


Would testing on FreeBSD 6.2 and perl 5.8.7 contribute to the diversity 
of platforms or is has it already been taken?

Go for it. Although 5.8.7 is a bit oldish. If you can put a 5.8.8 and a 
5.10.0 along side that would doubleplusgood.

I'm already testing with 5.10.0 on FBSD 6.2.
