looking at the libnotify transition, I can see that I'm involved in quite some packages, but as there are a lot of packages in total, it can be easy to miss one. I thought it could be nice to have a dd-list (or similar) of the relevant packaqes, so one could quickly see if he needs to take action or not. Usually there are transition bugs against packages when the maintainer needs to do something. But for the cases where the maintainer has to refrain himself to upload something, having an idea of who's concerned can be useful.
The binary that provides our transition tracker is ben, reassigning.
Another idea would be to send mail to maintainers when transition is set up in the tracker.
Hmm, most trackers are (auto) set up months before the transition starts.
I'm not sure if it's hard or not and if it's really worth the work, but I was asked to report it more formally than on #debian-release so here we are :)
At the time, ben didn't even exist (at least not in the archive) ... Paul
