CPAN RT

As I've been installing/customizing RT at work, I've taken a renewed interest in rt.cpan.org as I've reported various issues. I've been "familiarizing myself" with RT to better help the local users, a.k.a goofing around), and have customized my front page. I've tweaked "Bugs in My Distro" a bit (to do so you have to duplicate the search, since it's a globally shared resource), but mostly just the sort order, etc. More interesting I think, is this second box I've added to the body, "My Issues." It uses the same layout and display options as "Bugs," but instead shows you all the outstanding tickets you've reported elsewhere.

Requestor.id = '__CurrentUser__' AND QueueAdminCc.id != '__CurrentUser__' AND (Status = 'new' OR Status = 'open' OR Status = 'stalled')

The upshot of this is that you might then not feel so bad about having a few open bugs yourself, or be so incensed that you supply patches :-P
