Hi,

I just though it might be a good idea to send mail to affected
maintainer when someone adds an “affect” tag to a bug.

For example, if a bug affects one of my packages, I might get bug
reports on them because an user won't know and won't have check the bug
page (it still happens).

If I was warned before that a bug in another package affects mines, I
could properly reassign/merge instead of wondering what exactly is
happening.

What do you think?

Cheers,

If I did this, my first inclintation would be to just e-mail the
maintainer of an affected package all of the messages to a bug. [Well,
eventually; at least initially that wouldn't be the case.]
