Good point. I've filed
#1064952 pypi2deb: Please set DPT as Maintainer and the ID of the person
calling py2dsp as uploader
with a patch that works for me in one test example.
The interesting thing is that a tool targeting at streamlining the work
of DPT is not team maintained itself. It is maintained by those two
maintainers who obviously see some value in the weak cooperation option
udd=> SELECT * FROM (select maintainer, count(*) from sources where uploaders
like '%team+pyt...@tracker.debian.org%' and release = 'sid' group by maintainer
order by maintainer) tmp WHERE count > 20;
maintainer | count
-------------------------------------+-------
Piotr Ożarowski <pi...@debian.org> | 23
Sandro Tosi <mo...@debian.org> | 82
(2 rows)
which might influence their decision of the design of the tool.
Kind regards
Andreas.
