The error report came to this list because fink-devel is listed as the maintainer.
One (minor) question in this context is how the package database determines the maintainer when different versions of a package have different maintainers. From looking at examples it seems to me that the pdb takes the maintainer of the version in the oldest tree, which may not be optimal, because the maintainer of the most recent version is more likely to be active. Or should it be illegal to have different maintainers for different versions?
One example is given by the date-manip-pm package where all the info files in the 10.3 tree show Justin as maintainer and the pdb shows None as maintainer for all versions.
Another example is cmake for which I made a new version for 10.3 that has not much to do with the older one in 10.2-gcc3.3. The pdb lists only the old maintainer, so he will probably get reports about the new version too, although he hasn't shown signs of life in the last couple of months.
