Hello, a long time ago, we decided to stop using Alioth for the team email address in Maintainer/Uploaders fields, and onovy mass-committed this change to our repo; several of our packages (736, according to [1]) are still using Alioth.
[1] https://lintian.debian.org/tags/python-teams-merged Alioth is no longer maintained (or at the very least, our 2 mailing lists), and the amount of spam received through it is way too high to be sustainable. After the upcoming release of bullseye, I plan to start uploading all packages that currently use Alioth to migrate them to Tracker (along with the other pending changes in the git repos). I understand it's possible an upload exists in experimental that fixes it, so i'll try and check for that; it's also likely that if a package is still using Alioth, their maintainer is longer interested in the package, but i dont think now it's the time for a mass purge. I also understand some of these packages will have the team as Uploaders and, according to our Policy, i should contact the physical person doing the upload beforehand, but i think that would slow down this process and i'm ready to deal with the consequences of not following the Policy to the letter. Please let me know if you prefer me to act differently.
