I get quite a few emails each week from participants in the pull request challenge 'complaining' that their assigned dist doesn't have bugs to fix. If you've got a dist with outstanding bugs, and it's not on github, adding it to github can increase the likelihood of at least some of those bugs getting fixed. Here I list the top 20 dists not on github, according to bug count.
Here's the table — the bug count is taken from RT:
| CPAN Dist | # Bugs |
|---|---|
| GD | 77 |
| Math-Pari | 73 |
| Storable | 60 |
| PathTools | 57 |
| IMDB-Film | 56 |
| DBD-Sybase | 55 |
| PAR-Packer | 50 |
| Wx | 48 |
| Spreadsheet-XLSX | 45 |
| Catalyst-Runtime | 39 |
| IO-Prompt | 37 |
| Math-BigInt | 36 |
| Regexp-Grammars | 36 |
| PDF-API3 | 35 |
| Graph-Easy | 34 |
| XML-SAX | 34 |
| IO | 33 |
| Curses-UI | 33 |
| XML-LibXML | 32 |
| CAM-PDF | 32 |
I haven't checked yet, but some of those may have a github repo, but the repo isn't listed in the dist's metadata. If that's true, you could submit a PR to fix the metadata!
