Hi! Long storry short: A couple of days ago, I noticed the e-mails send to one address of a maintainer could not be delivered. As that e-mail address was used in several other packages (about 12 IIRC), I opened RC bugs against these packages.
Some got fixed by the maintainer, some got fixed by orphaning the respective package, some however got closed in NMUs, like the following: > * Non-maintainer upload. > * debian/control: > - Maintainer email address was invalid and bounced. Update it to use a > valid address. Patch by Nathan Handler <[email protected]> > Closes: #675214. Please don't do that! IMHO the proper way to handle these bugs is to see, if the maintainer[1] is fixing them himselve. If (s)he doesn't, then orphan it. But NMUing to fix the mainteiner address of a maintainer who apparently doesn't care about that package is just pointless. Best regards, Alexander 1: I took care, that the maintainer was made aware of these bugs through other channels. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
