I'm fond of bug reports (I ask for those), but I'm not particulary fond of user asking me questions (SOPW style, especially without having RTFM'ed) via rt.cpan.org or email.

CPAN::Forum could be a place for users to confer with other users to verify if they've got a legitimate bug, and it doesn't hurt that its linked to from search.cpan.org/cpan.uwinnipeg.ca.
