Description

shields.io provides nice little badges useful for open source projects. One of the badges is a count of open issues for a github project. It would also be nice if one were available showing the count of rt.cpan.org tickets for a CPAN project.

@obra, does rt.cpan.org have an API making querying the count of open tickets? What is @CPAN-API using?

Research direction
Investigate whether rt.cpan.org provides an API to query open ticket counts. Look at existing badge services in the shields.io repository (e.g., in the 'services' folder) to understand the pattern for adding a new badge. Comment on the issue to confirm API availability and discuss implementation details.
