Some now defunct alioth addresses are used in the Uploaders: field.
This is not explicitly forbidden by policy but certainly something that
should be addressed.
To create awareness about that issue, also to provide suggestions on
how to resolve this I intend to do a MBF using the following message:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Subject: [% package %]: Invalid address [% alioth_list %] in Uploaders: field
Package: src:[% package %]
Version: [% version %]
Severity: normal
User: admin@alioth-lists.debian.net
Usertag: alioth-lists-uploaders
Dear maintainer of the [% package %] package,
as you've probably heard, Debian's alioth services are shutting down.
This affects your package [% package %] since the list address
[% alioth_list %] used in the Uploaders: field was not transferred to
the alioth-lists service that provides a continuation for the lists in
the @lists.alioth.debian.org domain.
Addresses that were not migrated have been disabled a few days ago.
Therefore your package now has an invalid address in the Uploaders:
list. Please fix this since when convient.
Your options:
* Upload another version with that address removed or replaced,
or
* Migrate the list the new system. This is still possible,
please appoint a Debian developer as a list owner first, then
contact the alioth lists migration team <admin@alioth-lists.debian.net>
and provide all the necessary information.
More information about the new service can be found here:
<https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/MailingListContinuation>
The first option is probably suitable only if the address was used just
in a small number of packages since this requires an upload for each of
them. To our knowledge, the usage count of [% alioth_list %] is [% count %].
The second option is available for a limited time only, by end of
May 2018 the most. So if you're interested in going this way, start the
process as soon as possible.
Regards,
Christoph and some alioth-lists maintainers
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Affected packages below, as created by dd-list. The total count is 13
Cheers,
Christoph
