Please, everyone. Let's keep in mind that Brian is only trying to
improve the quality of Debian. Lets not forget that there *are*
maintainer who do not check their own bugs!
OTOH, Dale's request not to get the mail (calling it "spam") is
legally and morraly within his rights.

that your nag messages (be they one or one hundred) are so important that
Dale must be removed from the Project if he doesn't want to receive them?

So if I unilaterally decide to set up an email "service" that reminds
developers weekly what packages they have with lintian-warnings, that's

onal information provided by the NAG message, so it is
completely redundant, and useless.
I can remove myself from the bug track mailing list if I desire, and stop
receiving the Friday report. I have no such control over the NAG messages.
