I am moving into the Trac system [http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=38262 RT 38262], originally created by Jerry Gay in January 2006.
Since that time various interpretations of what the ticket should accomplish have been advanced; see the original ticket for that discussion. The most recent post in the original ticket was by Coke in February 2009:

''Summing up an IRC conversation with allison from today:''

''- Let's explicitly list which modules we are dual hosting from CPAN.''

''- building parrot (configure & make) shouldn't require anything outside of core perl.''

''- modules that are used for, e.g., 'make html' or other similar targets can be moved to the parrot developer bundle on CPAN.''
