Hi all, With the removal of Christian Perrier from Uploaders in almost all d-i packages, some of them now have an empty Uploaders field. With the debian-boot@ list being in the Maintainer field, that can trigger this lintian error on the source package:
E: tzsetup source: no-human-maintainers
My personal policy regarding this (carried over from my X.Org days) is
to ignore it entirely; I see no gain in having specific people being
listed in Uploaders. Feel free to do the same when you're about to
upload a package with pending l10n changes, or with various bug fixes
that were awaiting an upload in git…
I've opened a new thread for this heads-up, so that it can be spotted
easily instead of replying to the first bug report (bcc'd) we received
about the requested update of those Uploaders field:
https://bugs.debian.org/927485#10
Expanding on this anyway: I won't be spending any time on copying +
pasting bug numbers into Closes statements in changelog entries as
that seems a big waste of time.
Cheers,
--
