Now this _is_ a good idea! I've already asked on debian-alpha a couple of times "who ported this package?". I port a lot of alpha packages myself, and don't always remember whether I did the current version or maybe a previous version... This list could be updated via the maor-installer thing (whatever also sends the email message; that has all the info right there). > > An easy way to implement this would be to simply add a line to the > > source section of debian/control of each package like > > Likewise with builder, or not? Would you need m86k-builder and arm-builder and > powerpc-builder or would it be done differently? It's there in the changes file... Note that this would imply that there should also be a [EMAIL PROTECTED] which would usually be the same as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (but not always! The maintainer may use something else besides i386 as his platform).
