Great, so I'll try to "clean up" the database then with a script,
which:
1. iterates all packages and extracts sourcepkg:maintainer pairs
2. checks whether maintainer is subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
a. if no, subscribe the maintainer, thereby getting contact on
by default.
b. if yes, checks whether the contact keyword is present for
the sourcepkg:maintainer pair
i) if no, adds the contact keyword to the pair.
From what I understand, the PTS works in two stages for this: if
mail is received at [EMAIL PROTECTED], it obtains the list of
subscribers (bin/dump.pl) and for each subscriber then checks
whether 'contact' is in the tag set returned by bin/dump-tags.pl
for [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If the tag is present in either set, then I need not do anything.
If the tag is not present in either set, but
[EMAIL PROTECTED] exists, add it there.
If the tag is not present in either set, and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does not yet exist, copy
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and add the
tag.
Does this sound like a reasonable strategy?
