I've got another request, but I reckon it's a katie one: it would be
really nice if the Maintainer could be a mailing list (eg,
debian-policy@lists.d.o) and that katie would recognise one of a small
list of names and emails for the Changed-By field as being maintainers
for the package. I'm sure there are several packages like this which
would benefit from such a change. If I learn Python one day, I would
happily write a patch for this.
