Somewhat related, and something I think ought to be changed... wanna-build
doesn't email the maintainer when a package fails to build... you have to
explicitly subscribe to buildd failures in the PTS. I think we should change
that, and instead make this opt-out.
Doing release work, I usually find packages that have FTBFS issues on release
architectures where they built before (so RC bugs) for quite a while, with no
open bug report and no sign of activity. I think we should change this so
maintainers are aware of buildd issues early.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Emilio
