I don't know about others, but the listing that you provide on that page would be more useful for me if it were alphabetical in addition chronological. That way, if I wanted to recommend a module, I don't have to scan the whole page. I know, I know, my browser has a "find" feature. Still...
Let's say I'm thinking "Hey, I really like the Frobizinator module! I should recommend it for treatment on the Perl Advent calendar." With an alphabetical listing, I can look very quickly and see if it's received exposure before. That's all. :)
