Subject: PAUSE credentials should not be required
I would like to contribute a patch for Pod::Weaver::Section::Support, but I can't build your distribution:

$ dzil test --author
...
[@Apocalyptic/Authority] PAUSE credentials not found in "config.ini" or "dist.ini" or "~/.pause"! Please set it or specify an authority for this plugin.
[@Apocalyptic/Authority] PAUSE credentials not found in "config.ini" or "dist.ini" or "~/.pause"! Please set it or specify an authority for this plugin. at .../Moose/Meta/Method/Delegation.pm line 109.

The issues:
- a PAUSE account should not be required to contribute to your modules
- even if I have a PAUSE account, that should not be required to run author tests

At the heart, the problem is in the [Authority] plugin. Arguably it should disable itself (with a noisy warning) if no PAUSE ID is configured for the plugin and there are no .pause credentials found, rather than refusing to build. But a plugin bundle should definitely provide a default for this value in all cases, or the individual distribution should pass a PAUSE ID to the plugin.
