OK. I think the right way is to start filing Severity: serious bugs. 
See the section in the Developers Reference about mass- bug filing.

Of course, you are more than welcome to join the perl group and help 
us fix the bugs :) 
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/Welcome

I think using usertags and publishng a handy URL to the bug list to 
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/OpenTasks would be 
helpful for others.

I am lost here :) Was this for this mail?

I think Jay is MIA, so you may want to adopt his packages for the 
group (or file removal requests if they don't appear to be needed).


Thank you for your work on this issue!
