Without taking sides in this argument (not interested in the details), if irc.perl.org has channels for reporting bugs (and appears to be), STOP BANNING BUG REPORTERS (not interested in your reasons).

    As far as I know, there has been a cleanup of the ircops of magnet in the sense of banning repeat offenders/trolls from that irc network in an effort to make (for example) #perl a nice, welcoming community. I've listened to reports telling that they have succeeded.

    I think the ircops would potentially need to re-evaluate whether they care about bug reports for a module via irc more than about exercising their right over access to the network.

    RT appears to work for the distribution in question; there's no alternate preferred ticket channel marked, and RT has resolved bugs for the distro.
