yes indeed. KFI, sorry. But to quote you:

"BUGS_TO just provides you with a means to find out whom to to contact in case of doubt/questions/whatever."

I think that is what it is actually used for, besides your scripts which easily could work with any "tag" right?

"If someone who's in BUGS_TO vanishes, BUGS_TO's contents should be kept as-is until he's formally retired. (Which in the actual case I hope we won't do yet.) If someone else wants to be in there, he can add himself to it or even replace the former person's entry."

BUGS_TO can be used by non-developers in unofficial-repos, i would probably say someone can be removed from BUGS_TO/CONTACT when they have be unavailable for a long time while someone else has been added in there. The last part i don't agree with, if anyone can just remove you from BUGS_TO, what is the point?

Nobody says Ciaran has to do the work, we could just make a ticket and
anyone could do it. It does not have to be high priority either. But not
fixing something because we have patches in the pig is a lousy argument :P
I don't think it's worth a split second of anyone's time.
That's ok, but if someone wants to implement it, I fail to see the harm :) I think it is a good idea that new contributors know what the metadata we use means, and to me the way we use BUGS_TO is more like CONTACT. Anyway, a patch for e-f-s would certainly help, and as with a lot issues it can be done if/when anyone feels like it.
