about unique maintainer address policy

[Ian Jackson <ian@chiark.greenend.org.uk>]

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for my rather intemperate message on
this subject last week.  I'll post more later, but for now I'd just
like to say two things:

Firstly, as I understood it, current policy was that it was nice but
not required for maintainers to have exactly one address.  This seems
quite reasonable - the implication is that you should have one address
unless you have a good reason for wanting different onces.

Secondly: I'm rather concerned that the driving force behind this
policy is coming from the developers' DB and the `people behind
Debian' page &c.  Surely we should design our databases and software
systems to cope with reality, rather than redesigning reality to fit
the proposed database ?

Ian.
