Uh... I don't understand. The above suggestions avoiding private email
aliases; I'm not sure I understand where this fits the "rudeness issues" I've
had in the BTS -- the bug reports where it happened are public.
Maybe you can give me a better idea what you're trying to refer to. ;-)
I'm not sure I understand what you're not sure to understand... but I'll
try to rephrase.
You were asking whether contacting [email protected] is a good way
of dealing with ITS abuse. Officially, reporting such abuse currently
has to be done that way. As there is a single way, it's (relatively) as
much a good way of dealing with problems as a bad way.
In absolute terms, contacting [email protected] is not a good way of
dealing with any problem, as [email protected] is - as indicated in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2011/11/msg00030.html - a
private email alias, with little chance of solving the issue. If that
doesn't work, you can escalate the issue to project leadership as a last
resort... but you'll also hit a private email alias there.
I entirely agree that the solution should be public, but that doesn't
mean there will be a public solution. Having any solution would already
be more than I expect.
Have faith, and you may succeed.
