I have to disagree here.
The statement about maintenance is only ambiguous if you take it out
of context. The copyright file starts by saying "This is the Debian
prepackaged version of GNU indent", and my name is also in the
Maintainer field in the control file, so there is little room for
confusion here.
The author's email or the upstream email for bugs is not really
relevant for a copyright file, so I prefer not to add such things.
Debian has its own bug tracking system so that we don't have to bother
the authors with bugs which could be bugs introduced by us.
Thanks.
