I've been adhoc'ing where PDF::Template and Excel::Template live, primarily because I haven't gotten a server set up at home and have been able to host my projects on servers wherever I work.

But, I've been wanting to make them more like "real projects", so to speak. I've know there's several ways to do it, such as SourceForge, but I keep thinking that http://rt.cpan.org is such a great thing. And, I personally would love to use something like cvs.cpan.org, wiki.cpan.org, and mailing-lists.cpan.org ... just to keep everything under the same roof.

Are there reasons why this hasn't happened? I know a lot of distros (DBI, CGI::Application, Template, etc.) wouldn't use this, but what about those that would love to? Heck, I'd even be willing to pay a nominal fee per distro to have CPAN host them, just to have the coordination between where I put versions out for download, where I collect my bugreports, and the rest of my project management crap.

I'm posting here first because I didn't want to bother Brian without discussing it with you guys first.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
