We already have to keep track of authors changing their email addresses since we have to put their name and address in the copyright file. Re spam: I'd like to make it optional so it does not have to be used but only should. Each pkg. maintainer could negotiate with the upstream author about this feature and not use it if the author doesn't like that. Regards, Joey -- There are lies, statistics and benchmarks.
