I don't think that no one. I will at least look through such lists :). But maybe debian-qa is a better place than debian-devel-announce. > I think it's better for interested parties to look at this information > themselves: IMHO having such mail in the mailbox is more likely to motivate people fix bugs that having a knowledge that they can type cryptic URL to see what they can do. Recently I have to mail a package maintainer personally because a (trivial) patch I submitted to fix segfault in his package was in BTS since November and still not applied. I got a reply in several hours. I see this fact as a proof that mail reminders are effective, at least sometimes and for some people.
