Not directly. The namespace index on PAUSE is
CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz.
Aha, so that is what "indexed" means. Then it is good that it isn't indexed...
I don't know how exactly this index influences search.cpan.org.
Too bad. I guess I need to ask Graham...
You mean, if people ask CPAN.pm to update threads, they should actually get forks.pm? If you want that, you need to ask Artur and Jarkko if they make you co-maintainer. To me this looks dangerous.
Noooo... that's not what I want at all... ;-)
The PAUSE indexer has a 1 to 1 mapping of namespaces to distributions, i.e. only one file on CPAN can be mapped to a given namespace.
search.cpan.org is a different beast. It can list unlimited documents associated with a given query term.
That's clear to me now...

I'm not confused anymore, so here's my proposal. Keep the message unchanged. But add this message at the end of the list:
"The PAUSE namespace index is available as: CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz."
And, if some of the modules were not added, maybe add the message:
"Package(s) (list) of your distribution were not added to the PAUSE namespace index."
