That's definitely an indicator of something, but not really what I had in mind. I don't think rt.cpan.org is really that popular yet. In addition, if I am personally an example of a human, then I figure most people that experience a problem with a module simply code around it or email the author. The only person that's ever re-directed me to rt after an email is Mr. Tang, the the author of PAR.

The author of Convert::ASN1 (for example) just fixed the problem and released a new version. I noticed that the only tickets open on that are spam with a couple real ones from 10 months ago. I have a hunch Mr. Barr doesn't even know rt is there, nor do most of the module's users.

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for rt to take off. It's really slick. But I don't think it's a very good indicator of whether people are using your modules yet.
