What happened to "If the maintainer is not given as a mailing list" in your added concerns? The cases you talk about with Uploader involved in hundreds of packages, are you then expanding to also discuss larger teams with a mailinglist as Uploader? If you instead talk about packages where Maintainer is effectively /dev/null then you got bigger problems than Uploader needing busywork! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
