package has relationship with package needing new maintainer

[Bart Martens <bartm@debian.org>]

Hello,

The PTS now displays "This package has a relationship with <packagename>
needing a new maintainer" as meant on bug 695732 (another good idea from Paul).
This seems to work fine so far, but I have some questions about tuning.

The script depneedsmaint.pl looks at Sources and Packages files with these
criteria :

my @mirrors = ( "debian", "debian-security" );
my @dists = ( "testing", "unstable" );
my @distvariants = ( "", "-proposed-updates", "-updates" );

More complete could be :

my @mirrors = ( "debian", "debian-backports", "debian-security", "debian-volatile" );
my @dists = ( "oldstable", "stable", "testing", "unstable", "experimental" );
my @distvariants = ( "", "-proposed-updates", "-updates", "-backports" );

The same script looks at relationships Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep,
Depends, Recommends and Suggests.

And the same script looks at packages with wnpp bugs O (orphaned) and RFA
(request for adoption).

Opinions on tuning these parameters ? Or are they OK for now ?

Regards,

Bart Martens
