Because Devel-PPPort development happens on Github
It actually doesn't. Some may find it more convenient to post pull requests here for review, but Devel-PPPort is a dual-life, blead-first distribution and all changes technically happen there first, and reviewed by the porters, before then being duplicated here in this repository for a cpan release.
@karenetheridge I agree with your assessment concerning dist
modules but in practice over the last few months most of the development for PPPort occurs there directly as we can easily use Travis CI.
Indeed we make sure to keep blead
in sync with master
and only release what is in blead!
So, what to do about this ticket @atoomic @karenetheridge
Even though releases occur in blead first, it would be desirable to attract bug reports and pull requests here. Development pretty clearly happens in this repository now, not github.com/Perl/perl5, so I am in favour of changing the metadata.

That makes sense to me.
Because Devel-PPPort development happens on Github, it would be great to update metadata (Makefile.PL:102) to actually point a bugtracker and a repository to GitHub. It links to perl.org RT and gitweb now.
A similar change has already been made in a POD (https://github.com/Dual-Life/Devel-PPPort/issues/5).
