Somewhat related, and something I think ought to be changed... wanna-build doesn't email the maintainer when a package fails to build... you have to explicitly subscribe to buildd failures in the PTS. I think we should change that, and instead make this opt-out. Doing release work, I usually find packages that have FTBFS issues on release architectures where they built before (so RC bugs) for quite a while, with no open bug report and no sign of activity. I think we should change this so maintainers are aware of buildd issues early. Thoughts? Cheers, Emilio
