The BTS takes the addresses from the `Maintainers' file, which you can find under indices/ directory on each FTP mirror. I'm not sure, but it would seem logical that the newest available package entry gets in the file. Alternatively, ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] to change it manually. -- enJoy -*/\*- don't even try to pronounce my first name

Yes, and I wonder, if it should identify the maintainer regarding to his name (in the moment the unique identification is possible by first and last name) and not by e-mail adresses. If it is just the case for me this is no problem because I know the fact now. But as I said I see the danger of unifixed bugs because the maintainer does not notice it. Kind regards Andreas.

I don't think that the bug tracking system takes this into account at all.

Hmmm, that might fix the situation of two entries in the bug report for woody but not for slink or potato bugs. Moreover I consider it to be nonsense to upload a new package only to replace one valid e-mail address by another valid e-mail address without fixing any bugs (because there aren't any) or new upstream versions. Kind regards Andreas.

I think if you reupload your packages with the correct Maintainer field, then
the bug system will fix itself.

Do as you wish :) :) So far the funny side of this aspect, but together with the fact that there are problems in sending PM to the maintainer (see a running thread on this list) it might lead to the situation that a developer never notices a bug. I for myself check bugs against my packages using a script which calls lynx with a certain address (not with two or more). > Personally I prefer using a unique Maintainer: field in all of my packages. Perfectly all right and believe it or not it was my intention just to stick on a single e-mail address (simply [EMAIL PROTECTED]) for this purpose, because I had trouble when my other address was changing and so I decided to use the Debian address for all Debian purpose). While there are some unchanged packages this is a problem obviousely. Should I file a bug report against the bug system? (Filing a bug-report against myself is hard in this case because I can't fix it ;-).) Kind regards Andreas.

Two maintainer entrys in "bug reports by maintainer"
Hello cited from Debian bug reports by maintainer This page lists the package maintainers against whose packages there are outstanding, fowarded or recently-closed bug reports. A maintainer --> by the way here is a typo. ... * Andreas Tille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (1 outstanding Bug) * Andreas Tille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (1 outstanding Bug) ... The e-mail addresses are both valid, but it's the same maintainer (at least I get the mail from both :-) ). It is my task to use always the same address or is it a bug in the bug system? Kind regards Andreas.
