Package: devscripts Tags: patch Severity: wishlist Attached is a Python program called dd-list, which produces pretty listings of Debian packages and their maintainers, useful for when giving advance warning of mass-filing of bugs, or library transitions, or such. For example:
J. Random Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
j-random-package
j-random-other
Diana Hacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
fun-package
more-fun-package
This should be more readable than the usual listing of package names
only, so I ask for it to be included in devscripts.
