They get the correct entity, which is in the changelog (in the case of the Debian Octave Group, it is [EMAIL PROTECTED]). If something goes wrong with the autobuild, then this entity should be contacted, not the person who did the upload. Why would the autobuilders be unhappy with a mailing list as the maintainer entity? On the other hand, debian-installer needs to know who uploaded the package and this informaation is in the Changed-By field of the changes file, which will hopefully be correct for any future upload done by the DOG members. > > At any rate, it seems that using mailing lists in changelog entries is > > common practice, like: > > Less than 2% is not common. I do not know how you ot this figure, but anything greater than 0% should be fixed if we decide that this practice is really against the Policy (which I am claiming is not). -- Rafael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
