"Sure, but the beauty of Annocpan was that it didn't require any action on the part of the dist maintainers or indeed anyone other than the annotator. It was a great system."

I don't know when or why it stopped being a thing, however couldn't you roll your own with AnnoCPAN, or add the functionality for logged in users of metacpan?

"I've seen trivial documentation PRs hang around for years either because the maintainers forgot or couldn't be bothered or had effectively abandoned the whole package. There's also the possibility that they might think the PR to be without merit and simply reject it."

This is very true, and sometimes the developers of something are too close to the project to understand why end/casual users may benefit from such minor changes. With this in mind when I find a PR I think would be helpful to others I do +1/Thumbs up thing against the PR, at least that shows that other people agree with the PR in principal.
