Thanks Christian for the detailed description, I think now this list
is subscribed to all changes related to pytrainer package in both
Ubuntu and Debian. I will have a look regarding Fedora which is the
distribution I currently use although I am not running their official
pytrainer package.
BTW, I think there is a bug (or at least relaxed security check) from
the Debian PTS: I sent an email from my personal account (I am not
sure I can send _valid_ emails from the distribution email address, I
know I can fake some headers) to subscribe the email from current
distribution list to pytrainer package in Debian's PTS (empty message
with following subject: subscribe pytrainer
pytrainer-devel@lists.sourceforge.net).
Then PTS answered with instructions (basically reply from email
address which wants to be subscribed) but the funny thing is that as
long as the PTS email address is not allowed to post to this list,
SF's mailman replies automatically ("list administrator would
authorize your message, blablabla...") and therefore subscription is
confirmed.
It works slightly different for Ubuntu: as far as I understand, a
LaunchPad account must be created and then you can subscribe to any
package available there, so this list seems subscribed to "all bugs in
pytrainer in Ubuntu":
