Debian seem to be particularly bad for not reporting changes to maintainers, although other distros do it as well. I've got a few packages that are contained in a number of distros and I notice via occasional Google searches for semi-related items that I'm getting hits to CVS change logs for my code where someone is repeatedly re-applying some patch to every new version I release. All they'd have to do is send me email to say they've made the change and I can apply it to the master copy, but instead they re-patch every new release. In addition because I have no idea where it's ending up, I can't even send out a notification to say there's a new version out. It's a very strange way to "maintain" code.
