"Please come back later" error page found

When visiting https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::MaybeXS I get the multilingual blue-grey error page.

This dist provides a hash for "contributors" when it is usually an array:

curl 'api.metacpan.org/release/JSON-MaybeXS?fields=metadata.x_contributors'
{
   "metadata.x_contributors" : {
      "John SJ Anderson <genehack@genehack.org>" : "Karen Etheridge <ether@cpan.org>",
      "Clinton Gormley <develop@traveljury.com>" : "Graham Knop <haarg@haarg.org>",
      "Kieren Diment <diment@gmail.com>" : "Matt S Trout <mst@shadowcat.co.uk>"
   }
}

However, since the keys and values don't correspond, it looks to be a mistake by the releaser.
So @karenetheridge, JSON-MaybeXS should fix it's META,
and we need to fix our handling to ignore unexpected data.

Ah, that's the problem! :)
And yup, I put x_contributors into a hashref, not an arrayref.. fixing now.

I've uploaded a new release.
This release can live on as the testbed for fixing metadata parsing: https://metacpan.org/release/ETHER/JSON-MaybeXS-1.003004
