I'm the maintainer of exactly one CPAN module, but since it's used by
both Sendmail and Postfix users I'm very keen to keep it working.  It
would help me greatly in this effort if for example a row or two could
be added to this table:

http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Sendmail%3A%3APMilter

to show development versions of Perl, or maybe create another table at
another URI if it wouldn't be desirable to extend the existing table -
it might break existing automated tooling for example.

I have no clue what might be involved.

Observations?
