I don't think it makes much sense to include the name of the package. However we could include the title of the news after the news id: https://tracker.debian.org/news/534915/Accepted-xdelta-1.1.3-9.1-source-amd64 Basically, we take the title, pass is through a function that changes the string to something that looks like a "slug" (possibly using django.template.defaultfilters.slugify) and append it to the URL. We modify the default urls.py to accept those url (and discard the title part). This is a good contribution for a new contributor. Anyone up to the task? FWIW the list of news is handled in this template: distro_tracker/core/templates/core/panels/news.html And the URL of the news is defined by the News.get_absolute_url() method in distro_tracker/core/models.py.
