I think it mainly forwards to the mail addreses that have subscribed to the package in the Tracker. You have a "Subscribe" button in the top right corner of the Tracker package. I usually get three copies of any bug report that is filed against such a package, but that is more likely to draw my attention, so it's part of a feature for me. >I'd also appreciate some (clearer) documentation of the @p.d.o addresses, >other than the vague mention in devref. >Policy doesn't seem to describe it, >nor did I succeed searching in wiki.d.o.
