All good points! I use both licensecheck and cme (& licenserecon and custom search stuff and ...). I know cme can be a bit opinionated about some things - perhaps file a bug against it if you disagree with it's output? It can be a very helpful tool, in spite of it's shortcomings
Regarding the ITP bug report, it is something I expect to do in due course, but if I made the software perfect I'd not get to the reviews. The noreply thing is a bug I introduced today, and only just noticed myself - it's bedtime now, but I'll try and fix it tomorrow. The review comments are of course recorded on the review on the dashboard. I do consider these very minor points that are entirely optional - or indeed things you might well disagree with. Given your history with Debian, and the numbers of packages you've been involved with, I expect you know considerably more about this stuff than I do. And so: perhaps you can help! Do you think I should just send these messages only to the ITP bug, or CC that along with the maintainers etc that I currently send to? We only get the choice, for the accepts (in many cases the accept has no comment), and the notes that we occasionally send - the reject e- mail is sent by the Archive Team, but I could also send an e-mail to the ITP on a reject. Thanks, Andrew.
