For They shouldn't be, that's the point. People who are using them as such are *wrong* to be doing so, at least without any other information.

The second question isn't even relevant to this- such situations aren't different for NMs vs. DDs, in either case sending an email to the maintainer would work, if there's need to. Stephen
