++ Aliases and herds make sense when you actually have many devs coordinating with some coming and going and such. When it just happens to be that two people take care of one package it really isn't necessary. I co-maintain a few packages with one other dev and the one that has an alias doesn't really add any value (aside from reading occasional complaints from the other dev on the alias when he is directly CC'ed and gets double-mail (situation already resolved)). The only thing going for nagios is that there are many packages, so if maintainers do come and go there would be a lot less to edit if an alias were used. Rich
