I was looking at this thesis:
http://incolumitas.com/data/thesis.pdf
and see that the author didn't try to attack the CPAN because "[it] had
such a bad documentation quality". I assume* that he means it wasn't
clear how to go about uploading a module.
And I think he's got a point. It's not obvious to someone who's not
already "in the know". I therefore suggest that we move (or maybe copy)
the "how to contribute" section from http://www.cpan.org/modules/index.html
to http://www.cpan.org/.
PR here that copies the relevant section:
https://github.com/perlorg/cpanorg/pull/32
* I have contacted him for clarification, because we all know what
happens when we assume

I know that you believe you understand what you think you wrote, but
I'm not sure you realize that what you wrote is not what you meant.
