I hope it is clear why this won't work.
so <package>@packages.debian.org forwards to all addresses listed in Maintainer: and Uploaders: of the package in question, while <package>@packages.qa.debian.org forwards to all addresses that are subscribed in the PTS and to <package>@packages.debian.org? If that's the case, then the obvious fix would be to have <package>@packages.debian.org not forward to <package>@packages.debian.org and to have the PTS forbid forwardings to <package>@packages.debian.org. That way, it would be possible to use <package>@packages.debian.org in Maintainer:. I don't see anything wrong about this, but maybe I am missing something. In the mean time, I'll request an alioth project. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
