I think its true that in this case my idea would not have done better; there are different maintainers for different programs, and no centralized list. > We certainly don't want to send bugs upstream automatically--only once > the maintainer says "yes, send it upstream", so how would your > proposed feature have helped in this case? Not automated, simplified. As it turn out, util-linux does not list Andries' email in the copyright file, so I had to go download and hunt through the source package. If that's a bug, then I repeal my suggestion. I'm positive that I've looked at this bug before, and wanted to email upstream, except I couldn't find it in 5 minutes so I gave up assuming that someone smarter than I knew more anyways. Justin
