A maintainer address in Debian is just a way to get in touch with someone when something goes wrong with the package. If the mailing list is a good way to get in touch with people when those packages break, then it seems like a reasonable maintainer address. Bastian, what's the rationale for the filings you've been doing? Do you really think a mailing list address, (where any and all correspondence about the packages is presumably archived and possibly even publicly accessible), is somehow worse than mailing a single person (who hopefully archives their package mail, but maybe not, and can almost be guaranteed not to have publicly browseable archives)? What are you hoping to do here? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
