Hmmm, why should tracker.d.o keep a record where a package was
maintained *before* instead of just taking the Maintainer field of the
current package? At least the *rendered* information of tracker.d.o[1]
mentions Debian R Packages Maintainers.
The result of this wrong choice of team somehow hides the todo item for
dh-r from the people who should care (I'll forward a summary, but would
like to understand this issue first). The BTS says on the bug page:
Maintainer for src:r-cran-adegraphics is Debian R Packages Maintainers <r-pkg-team@alioth-lists.debian.net>
but it sends the e-mail in contrast to this to debian-med-packaging[3].
Any idea why BTS sends the e-mail to the maintainer that is mentioned
for instance in the package in stable rather than the one in unstable
(which is correctly parsed obviously)?
Kind regards
Andreas.
