Non code parts of Perl including the perlfaq and some of the Perl community infrastructure are available on github here for people wanting to do drive by fixes:

https://github.com/perl-doc-cats

Probably this should be more widely known. Unfortunately I think some of these repos are old forked copies? For example the PAUSE and YAPC repos. I'm not sure why that is. Its not clearly documented how it all works exactly.

Github ought to support POD.

Perl people moving the ticketing system for Perl itself from a perl app to a Ruby app?

I'm surprised, but I can't say it's a downgrade: RT is a beast and is overkill for 90% of projects. GitHub's issue tracker is just right.

90% of projects are certainly not Perl.

I think you misread him. He meant that RT (a ticket/issue system in Perl) is overkill for 90% of projects that use it.

There's no reason to downvote him. His statement was fine.
