I do, perl@ is a handful of committers, on the top of my head, az, crees,
culot, sunpoet and myself, those are allowed to set the maintainer to perl at .

For the other, the thing is clear, perl@ is not a garbage maintainer for
things people would like added but don't want to maintain after that. We
already have ports@ for that.
There is a policy for perl@ to handle Perl related PR, but only the PR, and
because committers there may have 

When we got perl@ created way back when, the idea was to have a team for
important Perl stuff, not for maintaining the whole of CPAN.
