Put this into lists.cfg, if so what format Josip?

Could you summarise; not a list I follow.

debian-ia64 is the wrong target; x86-64 would probably fit a debian-i386
(or debian-x86) since the AMD stuff is an extension of the ia32
instruction set.

My name suggestion would be debian-sysadmins; however I have marked the
bug report as pending evidence of requirements. I don't feel debian-isp
is appropriate as a mailing list venue.

I think the principle of multiple maintainers makes sense for Essential:
yes; and standard and important packages, IMO. For other packages, (X,
SSH, glibc, gcc, openoffice, et al.) I don't have a problem.
We still have to provide the mail aliases for exim-maint@; so why not
make it another domain.
