Question about contact maintainers script



Hi LTS team

In some old version of the contact maintainers script it was sending an email to $package@packages.debian.org
instead of individually to each maintainer.

We got a complaint from one of the maintainer teams that it do this. My conclusion is that it sends an email to the maintainer and all the uploaders and obviously the uploader do not always want to be contacted for a particular package.

The reason why it expands all, including uploaders is that the source of the package expansion do not distinguish between maintainer and uploader.

So my question to you all is whether there is any particular reason why it is expanded in this way, or if we should change back to sending an email to $package@packages.debian.org.

Best regards
