For clarity, it's not being stopped because email is a stupid idea -- though we all agree that it is -- but because the 3000 or so inbound reports a day then lead to a cascade of hundreds of thousands of outbound messages -- most of which people just filter to oblivion anyway. It's clogging the perl.org mail servers.
Email is still being used to deliver test reports, just the outbound messages are supressed. And, yes, we hope to move away from email submission "real soon now".

That's merely one of the reason WHY it's such a terrible transport.
It scales horribly and has terrible failure modes.
