Hi Joost and everybody,

I have not found time to play with the new dh command, and perhaps I will not
manage before November, but in the meantime I can not help making this small
side comment: you can simplify your oneliner above by using the powerful
`grep-aptavail` command from the `dctrl-tools` package.

$ grep-aptavail -e -P 'r-cran|r-bioc|r-other' -s 'Maintainer' |
    cut -d' ' -f3- | cut -d\< -f2 | sed 's/^/</' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

    129 <edd@debian.org>
    192 <debian-med-packaging@lists.alioth.debian.org>

(Super tiny bonus nitpick: no need to escape the newline character if ending a
shell line with a pipe.)

Have a nice day,

Charles
