Bug#636599: lintian: warning for using (bouncing) maintainer addresses



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.1
Severity: wishlist

Policy 3.3 demands that the maintainer address can receive mails from
role accounts used in Debian, such as the archive software or the bug
tracker.

Sometimes packages which do not use such an address enter the archive,
the most popular being

  Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>

I assume these uploads happen by accident when working on both Debian
and Ubuntu.

It would be nice if lintian (in Debian) could emit a warning, with the
test disabled on Ubuntu or other derivate systems.

Regards,
Ansgar
