I would say - open a ticket for the perl release that ccs all the maintainers. (Possibly with diff attached, although if it's just mass revbump that's probably not necessary). Ticket will say something like: X days from now perl5 will be upgraded to /latest release/ and your p5 ports will be rev-bumped.

Maintainers who were interested in testing could do so - and people would be aware of the coming change.
