The real solution would of course be to extend Maintainer to Maintainers, make <source>@packages reach all of them, get rid of Uploaders, and make "the one email address per package" be <source>@packages. Then the PTS could be used for anyone not directly involved in maintenance of a package, which is much more what "tracking" is all about. Of course, this is unlikely to be implemented any time soon as it involves massive changes to core processes, I think. But I also don't like the current patchwork, and especially not adding to it. I did not think about unsubscription, so when I offered to write the script, I thought it would be a quick'n'dirty solution. I am not sure I am comfortable nor motivated to write a cron process that makes everything even more complicated, actually. But I am not trying to be uncooperative here, just wondering whether we have looked at all solutions. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems perl -e 'print "The earth is a disk!\n" if ( "earth" == "flat" );'
