But a few days ago, when
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/editors/elvis_2.1f-1.deb
was still in the archive the maintainer was correctly listed as
andersee@debian.org (which is what I go by for Linux stuff like Debian
packages and the kernel cdrom stuff). The problem is that when
elvis_2.1f-1.deb went away, the bug system and friends reverted to
thinking about the stuff in stable, i.e.
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/stable/binary/editors/elvis_2.0-8.deb.
which does indeed list my old address (andersee@et.byu.edu). I hope to
hear from the elvis author soon, and that we can resolve the non-DFSG
copyright (it is really close, so I hope he will be lienient...)
