The RSS feeds were working though.  I run this every night in a cron job
to automagically subscribe myself to new feeds as they get created for
new modules I upload:

#!/bin/sh

GET=/usr/local/bin/GET
R2E=/usr/bin/r2e

USER=myuserid
PASS=mypassword

for i in `
    $GET http://rt.cpan.org/?user=$USER\&pass=$PASS|grep
      Dist/Display.html\?Status=Active|sed 's/.*Queue=//;s/".*//'
`; do
    if (! $R2E list|grep rt.cpan.org.*$i>/dev/null) ; then
        echo Adding RSS feed for $i on rt.cpan.org
        $R2E add http://rt.cpan.org/Search/Results.rdf?user=$USER\&pass=$PASS\&Query=Queue%20%3D%20\'$i\'%20AND%20\(%20Status%20%3D%20\'new\'%20OR%20Status%20%3D%20\'open\'%20OR%20Status%20%3D%20\'stalled\'%20\)
    fi
done

I'm sure that those of you foolish enough to use anything other than
rss2email for your RSS feeds can figger out how to make it work with
your weird software.
