New kwalitee metric: link to repository

[book]

The META spec defines the resources key.

CPANTS players should get extra points when having resources.repository in their META file.

Also for each other known (non-x_) subfield? Or for resources.repository only? Or maybe for any of the subfields including x_?

+1 for resources.repository (only).

I wondered whether MetaCPAN treats the bugtracker as github if it sees a github repo (in which case this check should also require you to specify a bugtracker, if you specify a repository), but no: it sticks with RT unless you explicitly tell it another bugtracker.

One could still argue that if you specify a repo, then you should specify a bugtracker, but I won't push that one too hard :-)

[charsbar]

Most probably because It's too tedious to migrate all of the existing RT tickets to github issues :p

I have mixed feelings about a bugtracker resource because I sometimes need to look for a link to RT for a distribution whose resources.bugtracker points to github issues, to see old tickets.

The configuration for a github repository allows one to disable the "Issues" feature. So it should not be assumed by default that a github repository uses the github issue tracker.
