No, it doesn't make sense. The information is already provided, it's in Makefile.PL (assuming a proper Makefile.PL). And if you go to search.cpan.org, search for a module, and then browse it, you can see the content of Makefile.PL.

If you still find this too much of a hassle, I suggest volunteering to write a patch for PAUSE that extracts the information from Makefile.PL and puts the information somewhere to your liking. No need to require authors to do redundant things.
