Bug#556217: DDPO does not show sponsored uploads
Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal
Usertags: ddpo
One of my packages has been adopted by a new maintainer and I am the
sponsor.
If you look at my packages[1] and hover the mouse over the recent upload
of gnade (=1.6.2-3), the tooltip text says "1 week ago by Stephen Leake
<stephen_leake@stephe-leake.org> (Uploader: Stephen Leake
<stephen_leake@stephe-leake.org>)", i.e. it thinks the maintainer and
uploader are the same. This is wrong; I am the uploader. The control
file contains:
Maintainer: Stephen Leake <stephen_leake@stephe-leake.org>
Uploaders: Ludovic Brenta <lbrenta@debian.org>
and I did the upload, signed by my key (lbrenta@debian.org). Stephen is
neither a DD nor a DM, so cannot possibly be the uploader.
Another package, polyorb, shows the same problem with another
maintainer[3]. Because this is a new package (as opposed to an adopted
package), it does not appear on my DDPO page at all.
The unofficial debian-mentors FAQ[2] specifically warns against passing
-e or -m to dpkg-buildpackage or debuild, so I didn't. Was that a
mistake?

FWIW, both packages that expose the problem (gnade and polyorb) are
still in the NEW queue.
Consequences of this problem:
- there is no Sponsored Uploads section on my page
- when gnade is through the NEW queue, it will disappear from my page
(polyorb is already absent from it)
- I cannot easily track the packages I sponsor
- I get no credit for sponsoring :)
