So, here is the status.
To make progress towards a web interface for DDPO-by-mail, which was
asked in [1], and a way to generate the email automatically (instead of
manually[2]), I imported the list of PTS subscribers into UDD.
[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/02/msg00302.html
[2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/02/msg00341.html
The list of (package, subscribers) is already available to DDs on
master.d.o (/org/packages.qa.debian.org/bin/get-summary-subscribers.pl),
so the fact that this information is also available to DDs in UDD is
nothing new.
This does not bother me. I trust DDs with this like I trust them not to
trash my /.
However, data stored in UDD is also available to a wider public:
- people with an alioth SSH access can access UDD even if they are not
DDs
- data is exposed on the web at http://udd.debian.org/
This *does* bother me. There is no reason for my subscription preferences
to be available to either of these groups of people (where the latter is
everybody in the world).
That sounds like an acceptable compromise to me. Of course, it can be
revisited, but I'm not sure of what would be an acceptable compromise,
so I'm not going to propose anything here.
An acceptable compromise to me is to email the results of the cgi to
the address in question, or failing that - to be able to opt-out (or in)
to such a service.
