In a private mail conversation with tobez back several months ago, he
mentioned he'll do the import soon. So I guess he signed up for this.

I would really like to see -current to have 5.7.2 since 5.8.0 is
coming, while -stable to have 5.6.1 as it had been proven quite
stable. It'd also be nice to bring tobez's wonderful BSDPAN to -stable
along with perl 5.6.1
