One problem with this solution[1] is that the usual way to reach out to the maintainer is via the mail listed in the Maintainer field. Suppose we have the [email protected] list for discussion, and we started using [email protected] as Maintainer: address. How is a random user supposed to find [email protected] ? [1] Even if we assume the tracker gains the ability to forward mails to the team members.
