Two recently filed RT tickets ...
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=121829
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=122596
... led me to look for the source code for ExtUtils::Installed and
ExtUtils::Packlist. They're part of the ExtUtils-Install distribution
which is distributed with core.
In the core distro, ExtUtils-Install is found under 'cpan/', which
suggests that it is *primarily* maintained on CPAN by one or more
maintainers, and not maintained by P5P.
However, when I go to http://search.cpan.org/~
bingos/ExtUtils-Install-1.68/, I see that this distro's bug tracker is
listed as http://rt.perl.org/rt3/ and its repository is listed as
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/. In other words, it's maintained in
core not on cpan/.
If so, then shouldn't ExtUtils-Install be under 'dist/' rather than
'cpan/' in the core distribution?
From pod/perlsource.pod:
dist: "This directory is for dual-life modules where the blead source is
canonical."
I'd like to clarify this before embarking on work on either of the two RTs
cited above.
AFAIK it has recently been decided to move it from core, but as it hasn't
seen a release yet rt.cpan.org still thinks the upstream bugtracker is
rt.perl.org.

Please ping me when this release happens so that I can close related
tickets in rt.perl.org.
Thank you very much.
