Thing is, in ubuntu - we don't neccesarily have "maintainers" for packages. We use a collaborative process - anyone who had access can modify the package. Basically - many many people can change a package, which can be confusing for people. Usually, there is someone you can contact regarding a specific package, and it will either be dealt with by that person, or passed on to the relevant person. Personally, I used to use the ubuntu bugzilla to see who to contact regarding a specific package, whoever the bug was assigned to was the person to contact - but I'm not sure how to get that information now. It's basically a fact that most people outside of ubuntu don't know the structure within ubuntu of wo to contact about certain packages etc etc - I know I've had problems myself, but usually, you will have a specific person taking care of a package in main. I think that this is a big problem, and could easily be solved by having either proper QA contacts for packages, or at least having a list somewhere of who to contact for what package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
