Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Hello!
The BTS seems to have forgotten the names and e-mail addresses of
the maintainers of all packages! Or, at least, of a part of the
packages...
For instance:
http://bugs.debian.org/730490
states "Maintainer for apt is (unknown);"
http://bugs.debian.org/730822
states "Maintainer for apt-listbugs is (unknown);"
and so forth...
Well, *I* am the maintainer of apt-listbugs, as the package
tracking system knows:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/apt-listbugs.html
But, if the BTS does not know, I think it fails to send bug reports and
followups to the correct maintainer(s)!
One followup sent by me to bug #730822 (assigned to my own package) was
not re-sent to me and the "Info received" e-mail notification says:
Your message has been sent to the package maintainer(s):
unknown-pack...@qa.debian.org
The "Processed" e-mail notification for control bot commands says:
Warning: Unknown package 'apt-listbugs'
What's going on?
What did I fail to understand?
If this is an actual issue with the BTS (as I suppose), I hope it may be
fixed RSN!
Thanks for your time!
