Devref says it's "a simple email alias" that "provides a way to email the maintainer", "whatever their individual email address (or addresses) may be", but doesn't tell which kind of email addresses it forwards to. Nor can I find info at other places, like wiki.d.o. I always thought [email protected] would forward to the Maintainer of foo, but setting [email protected] as the Maintainer of foo means forwarding to itself.I think it mainly forwards to the mail addreses that have subscribed to the package in the Tracker. You have a "Subscribe" button in the top right corner of the Tracker package.
It's a likely explanation, but then Uploaders continue to be ignored.
I'd also appreciate some (clearer) documentation of the @p.d.o addresses, other than the vague mention in devref. Policy doesn't seem to describe it, nor did I succeed searching in wiki.d.o.Does https://qa.pages.debian.net/distro-tracker/ help?
It only describes, in the Email Messages section, that the "contact" keyword forwards emails to [email protected]. I don't see evidence it describes how the address itself works. Thanks for the help, though it seems further clarification can only come from p.d.o staff. -- Sdrager, Blair Noctis
