At OpenFoundry (http://upload.openfoundry.org/) here, we are beginning to implement exactly the same thing, namely changing the apply_mod URL to point to a specific RT queue, where the application form will be turned into a ticket. That queue has a special OnResolve magic which will add the namespace into the modlist, as well as creating associated PAUSE, MT, CVS, Sympa, RT queues and permissions for that module, by POSTing back to those services' admin interface, and exports a REST interface from RT for ACL checks. I'll be happy to submit the changes back to the PAUSE svn (after ANDK's review, of course) once we finished the unit test cycle here. (FWIW, OpenFoundry is a Taiwan Government-funded initiative launched this month; it will provide sf.net-like services to Chinese free software projects. My company has been selected as the contractor for implementing the underlying loosely-coupled, PAM-based services, codenamed "CPAN-in-a-box".) > We would be doubleplushappy to host this on the perl.org RT instance. I would be glad to contribute my RT scrips and modules toward that direction. Thanks, /Autrijus/
