You've got essentially the same method in both the Release and Pod controllers.  So, this is is a good candidate to move to a different place where each module can make use of it.

You could probably move the plusser_by_id method to the API::Favorite module.  It deals with Authors and Favorites, so it really could go either way anyhow.  If you do this, you can add find_plussers() as a new method in the API::Favorite module.  It can return a HashRef which would be the same information that you're currently putting into the stash.

So something like:
```
$c->stash( $c->model('API::Favorite')->find_plussers( $distribution ) );
```

You can drop the $c object in this method.  So `my $plusser      = $c->model('API::Favorite')->by_dist($distribution);` becomes `my $plusser      = $self->by_dist($distribution);`
