Subject: [WISHLIST] Report bad signature
It appears that when cpansign fails, CPANPLUS sends no report whatsoever to CPAN testers. So module authors have no idea why some of their modules are not tested. An option should exist (enabled by default when 'cpantest' is true) to send some kind of FAIL report when the signature fails, with the message returned by cpansign. Somestimes signature failures are due to issues not related to file integrity, such as Windows test file end-of-line conventions, or the correct key not being available on the keyserver.

With change 12392, CPANPLUS should be sending out a FAIL on a failed sig check, provided signature checks and cpantesting have been enabled
