Excuse me, but which genius decided to use a *public* mailing list as
a Maintainer: address?  Please don't do that it a) violates policy[1],
and b) is plain silly, IMNSHO, if someone contacts the "Maintainer" of
a package, he should be able to do so secure in the knowledge his mail
isn't being forwarded to a public list (for security-related stuff or
whatever).  If you want to do group-maintainership then do it using a
private mailing list or something.

[1] Granted it's a policy gratuitously invented by Christian and one
which I'm publicly and vehemently opposed to, but that's a side
issue. :)
