Severity: normal

The email address in the package overview is case-specific, i.e.

http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=jeffrey.ratcliffe@gmail.com

does not produce the same report as

http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Jeffrey.Ratcliffe@gmail.com

Hi,

I tried to implement case-insensitive matching in DDPO several times,
and it broke in a different way every time. Biggest problem is that
other tools are case-sensitive, and we have to provide the correct
link to other services (e.g. buildd.debian.org/maintainer=$foo). It is
unclear which version to put there if we were going to treat different
cases the same.

Please consider using the same mail address for all your packages, or
use the link already posted:
