Hi
yesterday night I merged a small patch from Thomas Viehmann into our
archive software which enables it to send a copy of all mails to the
person sponsoring the upload.
This is in affect for all *future* uploads, not for any package which
already hit the queues (like those in NEW right now).
We do
- only sent the extra copy if it is a sourceful upload, to not spam
buildd admins,
- only sent the mails to sponsors who did *not* disable their
@debian.org address.
For those interested, the process works similar to:
- We look if the Debian login attached to the key signing the upload has
an active @debian.org address.
- If that is the case we look for all uids on that key that look like
an email address and compare them with the Maintainer: and
Changed-By: field in the .changes file.
- If there is no match, ie. none of the "emails" of the key uids is
in those fields, the @debian.org mail is added to the set of valid
receivers.

bye, Joerg
I read the DUMP and agree to it.
