Hello, well I think the explanation should simply go to extend http://www.at.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-collaborative-maint basically there are two ways: Either set Maintainer: to a dedicated mailinglist usually on alioth (which is *not* closed for posting from non-subscribers, otherwise bts will be blocked, too.) or otherwise set Maintainer to the primary maintainer and Uploaders to to the other ones. In the former case everyone subscribes to the mailinglist, if you choose the latter way Uploaders need to subscribe via PTS. Personally I would suggest going for the mailinglist. This way all maintainers get the same information. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] only reaches Maintainer: and is not distributed via PTS[1]. Also users occasionally simply pull the maintainer email from "dpkg -s package" and mail it directly. cu andreas [1] [EMAIL PROTECTED] only reaches people subscribed directly via PTS, i.e. usually not the maintainer. -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin. His other friends are so grateful to you.' `I sew his ears on from time to time, sure' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
