I get quite a few emails each week from participants in the pull request challenge 'complaining' that their assigned dist doesn't have bugs to fix. If you've got a dist with outstanding bugs, and it's not on github, adding it to github can increase the likelihood of at least some of those bugs getting fixed. Here I list the top 20 dists not on github, according to bug count.

Here's the table — the bug count is taken from RT:

CPAN Dist # Bugs GD 77 Math-Pari 73 Storable 60 PathTools 57 IMDB-Film 56 DBD-Sybase 55 PAR-Packer 50 Wx 48 Spreadsheet-XLSX 45 Catalyst-Runtime 39 IO-Prompt 37 Math-BigInt 36 Regexp-Grammars 36 PDF-API3 35 Graph-Easy 34 XML-SAX 34 IO 33 Curses-UI 33 XML-LibXML 32 CAM-PDF 32

I haven't checked yet, but some of those may have a github repo, but the repo isn't listed in the dist's metadata. If that's true, you could submit a PR to fix the metadata!
