I have read both, but it is still unclear to me what I should do as somebody not involved in QA who just wants to know about a particular maintainer. Should I send mail to him, and a copy to mia-<him>@qa.d.o, or should I just send a question to [EMAIL PROTECTED] And what is going to happen - is the event just logged in your mia database, or is some human being going to answer me "We don't know anything about him", "Others have asked, too; he's probably MIA" or "No, how come you think? He's very active with package a and b, and on IRC"? Furthermore, what is the proposed action if I know (from the LDAP database) that the maintainer in question has shown some action, but I still think that he has lost interest in a particular package (and, of course, doesn't answer mail about it)?
