I noticed that some bug reports from bugs.debian.org were not getting sent to the [email protected] list when reported against the Debian packages. I confirmed with the bugs.debian.org maintainers that the messages were sent successfully from their end, but but it appears that launchpad lists silently discard messages from email addresses without an associated launchpad account.
I searched for other packages in presumably the same situation: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Fcontrol+Maintainer.*lists.launchpad.net I've included the relevent teams in "To" on this mail, and all marked Uploaders in "Cc". Apparently, this is a violation of Debian policy: 3.3. The maintainer of a package -------------------------------- ... The maintainer must be specified in the `Maintainer' control field with their correct name and a working email address. The email address given in the `Maintainer' control field must accept mail from those role accounts in Debian used to send automated mails regarding the package. This includes non-spam mail from the bug-tracking system, all mail from the Debian archive maintenance software, and other role accounts or automated processes that are commonly agreed on by the project I haven't been able to figure out a way to configure launchpad lists to comply with debian policy, but maybe there is some well-hidden way I haven't been able to figure out. Maybe we can convince the launchpad team to add some set of exceptions for teams wanting use a launchpad list for Debian packages? live well, vagrant
