I don't really see this need. This probably depends on the workflow, therefore could you explain why this is needed? > I have not yet understand how this can be replaced. Anything that needs to get "maintainer e-mails" (automated mails and forwards of bug correspondence, right?) could just subscribe to the individual package on tracker.d.o. > It is a feature several teams are relying on and we want to adapt the > maintainer field to this. I currently really see the problem that the -maintainers email address is published too often and at the wrong place, and people try to use it as discussion list. This requires a constant manual check of these mails, which is especially annoying since they are flooded by spam mails as well. And if someone (ab)used it, additional effort is required to redirect this to the discussion list. I would really like to see the "Maintainer:" field as a possible contact for humans (so, put debian-science@lists.d.o there), and do the automated stuff with the package related address. Cheers Ole
