This idea seems interesting. It adds a bit more than what exists already though not that much. Many of these things can be grabbed from existing pages (bugs.debian.org/email, packages.qa.debian.org, etc). Perhaps on the nm.debian.org page there could be links for each NM to stuff they've submitted to the BTS, packages they're maintainer or in the uploaders list for, etc. The only problem with this is that there isn't a tag for 'ContributionsFrom:' or something that could then also be checked. Perhaps a method could be defined in the changelog to list where some contributions came from and a page could be set up which tracks this for people. By then going to nm.debian.org and clicking on a user you'd get links and perhaps a summary of their BTS entries, packages they help maintain explicitly and packages they've contributed to (along with what those contributions were). Thoughts? Stephen
