PAUSE Permissions conflicts
Try and resolve the last few case-sensitive permissions conflicts, and work with ANDK to get my proposed change merged, so they can't happen in the future.

Perl6's Qt Profiler
Rakudo's default Angular profiler's performance and memory footprint make it unsuitable for any serious development. A Qt profiler frontend (written in C++) is a partial replacement, though its missing features compared to its web-based counterpart. Needs to be updated to the new profiling data format and the SQL storage.
A sub-idea: port it to Perl 6 and see if it turns out to be more performant than the JS one? :)

Static CPAN installation
Our current installation mechanism is very flexible (in a Turing complete way), but most of the time that isn't necessary. It could be useful if this dependency on shelling out to Makefile.PL/Build.PL could be eliminated where possible.
CPAN::Mini in git
Not sure if I'll be working on this but it's my fall back.
While researching Makefile.PL related failures due to dotless @INC, we developed a proof of concept that I think could be generally useful if maintained. It potentially could replace or enhance http://grep.cpan.me.
The proof of concept can be found here: https://github.com/toddr/minicpan_grep
Dist::Build
This is an extensible Build.PL implementation intended as a replacement for Module::Build.
