Please stop it.
And yes that's also true for arch team members.
Package list is maintainer territory.
Curious, what are the reasons and what changes people make that they
shouldn't?
I'm wondering if there's some solution to these issues (maybe better
documentation, or an alternative way of accomplishing what these people
try to do).
As dilfridge pur jer in CC, I guess that some of jer's changes to bugs
were not welcomed by maintainers.
One recent example of non-maintainer activity in the package list field
is bug 613104, where he just removed the entire package list (and then
marked the bug WONTFIX).
Also very common is that he changes fully qualified package names (which
is the correct syntax per [1]) into fully qualified package atoms (which
is the legacy syntax). Bug 616260 is one such example.
