New features on rt.cpan.org

We implemented and deployed two new features on rt.cpan.org.

Subject Tags

People with many distributionss will love it, as it allows youto add a custom string into subject of emails per distribution. Subject of emails will be something like [rt.cpan.org YourTokenHere #123].

We decided to leave rt.cpan.org there, but I'm pretty sure therewill be people who will try to abuse the feature. Be smart, don'tuse two short and too long tags, remember that reporters also recieveemails.

Maintainers list with links

It's just UI sugar, each maintainer in the list is now wrapped intoa link that lead to all modules this author maintains.
