Re: maintainer policy and project organization
Hi,
I agree with most of what Christian said. As a corollary, I
would like to add to policy that <maintainer>@debian.org be a working
email address.
All it needs is a simple one line .qmail file on master, and
it is a convenient means of contacting the maintainer, and is far
easier than tryig to remember the machine name that the maintainer
actually happens to use.
This also tends to insulate people from being hit by ISP/job
changes, since the debian.org address remains constant. For this
reason, the debian.org address is better than whatever I snarf out of
/var/lib/dpkg/available -- do you realize how old a bo available file
is at the moment?
