Report URLs



Hi

I'm sure this has been somewhere discussed, but is there some serious
reason for using names in URL? I have two non ascii chars in name and
it breaks almost every link to lintian.debian.org, each in different
way. Some time ago, lintian.debian.org contained unknown chars replaced
by _ (I guess that utf-8 made one char look as two), this lead to [1].
Now the last part seems to be removed so the link is [2], but QA
website[qa] still points to old[1]. Meanwhile PTS[pts] still points to
bad location which includes full name [3].

Now I ask: would not be better to use maintainer email in URL instead
of name? I guess fancy chars in email are quite rare...
