It there a way to file a complaint against a package maintainer?




Hello!

Is there any standard method for filing a complaint against a Debian package maintainer?

Unfortunately, a package that is important to me has been picked up by a new maintainer after the old one abandoned it.

This new maintainer has caused a lot of problems because they, admittedly, don't use the package themselves and don't really understand it. The person is a mediocre programmer and has trouble with bash scripts. The motives for why this person adopted this package are not clear.

The new maintainer has broken lots of things, mass-closed all old bugs without having resolved anything (even bugs that had recent comments/updates), and is generally causing a lot of grief for us users of the package.

Anyone have any advice?
