The LDAP is DSA's tool for managing shell accounts and per-user email setup. It deals primarily in terms of people, who have a uid, a name, a forwarding email address, a PGP key (fingerprint), etc. Maintainers are concept of packages and thus leans more towards the ftpmaster side who, if I understand correctly, already maintain a list of all maintainers somewhere in their database. Maintainers are also often role accounts, like I guess "Debian OCaml Maintainers". Therefore I don't think trying to get this particular piece of information into the debian LDAP would be particularly straight forward. Also I question what good it would actually do. -- | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** Peter Palfrader | : :' : The universal http://www.palfrader.org/ | `. `' Operating System | `- http://www.debian.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
