This caused me some headscratching (wait, is my port here but not
in the list? Am I mailed because a port here is a dependency of my
port?)
I???ve concluded that instead I???m receiving this mail because you
sent it to the entire ports mailing list. Am I wrong?
At least one of the affected ports is maintained by ports@
(=unmaintained).
That makes it rather pointless to say "because you have one or more
ports". Now *everybody* has to go through the list to find whether
they're affected or not.
Not really, as I assume everyone maintaining these ports received a
separate email addressed to the address used in the MAINTAINER field.
That’s consistent with other emails received on ports@ (like update
notices from portscout).
It would have been better to exclude ports@
from the list.
Or change the wording for that specific email, I was also slightly
confused and checked the list of affected ports, just to make sure -
also as a consumer of ports.
But what I see is that really only ports@ was on the
To: list.
Which makes sense, as those emails were sent to maintainers (one email
per maintainer). Again, that’s consistent with other communication to
ports@, even though in this case, some specific wording would’ve
helped.
Just to be clear, I only explained what happened there, I didn’t send
those emails or was involved in any way.

Hi,
I apologize for the confusion, I tried to catch "everyone" and I've
(b)cc
all maintainers that do no have a Phabricator account but since a lot of
ports are old and unassigned to I figured that I should also notify
ports@ too to avoid people missing it.
Best regards,
Daniel
