I think this would be an interesting direction in which to take things, but it's a larger project that requires changing the definition of fields (Maintainer is currently single-valued) and how various tools work. If you or someone else wanted to pursue this, I think it would be a more accurate representation in the long run, but it may be more effort than is warranted. In the meantime, in the short run, I think we should clarify the wording to something a bit closer to what people normally do. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
