What's the alternative way to send mail to the maintainer of a package?
I don't use that feature every day, but when I use it every couple of
months (more frequently at times where teTeX or TeXlive changes affected
lots of other packages) I'm happy that I needn't check the maintainer in
the control file.
@packages.qa.debian.org has two disadvantages: I need to look up the
source package name (which isn't hard), and I have to either remember,
or be told by a bounce (?), that a special header needs to be included,
and look up which in the developer's reference.
