Bug#863068: lintian: Merge pages from same contributor (but different email) into one page



Hi,

> lintian.d.o generates a maintainer
> page per unique email and not per contributor.

The new lintian.d.o groups the packages listed in a maintainer
overview by the email "phrase" as defined in RFC 5322. I believe it
accomplished your goals with this bug. A maintainer now merely has to
ensure that their name (but not the email) matches across packages.
Does that resolve your bug, please?

There are some fine points around people with identical names, and the
'carnivore' package may ultimately provide a better solution, but I
haven't gotten that far yet.

Unfortunately, I do not believe my automated environment—large parts
of which are not yet hosted on DSA equipment—can currently obtain
access via an SSO certificate. I am also not comfortable handling
access-controlled information with a view to publicize it, when some
consider the same private or otherwise sensitive.

Please feel free to close this bug. Thanks!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
