Sign the dist as the last step before creating the archive. Take care not to modify/regenerate dist meta files or the manifest.

Error: Old SIGNATURE detected.

Add a META.json to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.

Add 'use warnings' (or its equivalents) to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules warn when something bad happens.

Error: Mozilla::Backup::Plugin::FileCopy, Mozilla::Backup::Plugin::Tar, Mozilla::Backup::Plugin::Zip

Split the distribution, or fix the version numbers to make them consistent (use the highest version number to avoid version downgrade).

Error: 0.02,0.03,0.06

Add a 'repository' resource to the META.yml via 'meta_add' accessor (for Module::Build) or META_ADD parameter (for ExtUtils::MakeMaker).

This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later.
