perl_vendor was a subpackage of the perl source package (it does not
have its own -src), so this is correct. All perl-* packages currently
in either arch should be listed; if not, PTC.
As for whatever other perl module packages that need to be added in
order to replace perl_vendor, those will be added when we have an
approved update or ITA for them.

This is a package ownership database, not a package information
database. What additional information do you think would be useful
here?
