3. Add the option to subscribe to a package on BTS
This would at least allow people who don't/wouldn't use PTS to receive new bug
reports for packages they care about. PTS is a separate service that happens to
forward BTS bug reports, in a way.
I only maintain insignificant, small packages, but my packages have the
PTS^wtracker set as maintainer address, and the indivdual uploaders in
uploaders:
Maintainer: Debian Adduser Developers <addu...@packages.debian.org>
Maintainer: Debian Sudo Maintainers <s...@packages.debian.org>
In Salsa, I have set the "Emails on push" Integration to send to
dispatch+adduser_...@tracker.debian.org.
I am often surprised by how many people have subscribed those packages
in the tracker.
This is working reasonably well in the absence of easily obtainable
package related mailing list. Especially in adduser, this is being
extensively used for team internal communication, the only disadvantage
being that package@p.d.o isn't archived. There are no moderation
mechanisms, but that has never been needed in my cases.
In fact, this works so well that we should document that in the new
maintainer's guide.
Greetings
Marc
