I suppose the main thing here is who is "responsible" for opening
RT/github tickets for those distributions? The diagnoses found here can
then be easily relayed to the authors. In the past such tickets normally
seem to magically appear - but I don't know whether anyone here considers
it one of their normal roles (in the same way that I don't personally
worry about whether the latest versions of CPAN modules have been brought
into blead; people like Chris Williams seem to just magically do it.)
