It would be nice to be able to easily find out:

      * which of the packages I am responsible for haven't yet migrated
        to testing after the 10/5/2 day period and why
      * which of the packages I am responsible for are involved in
        current transitions
      * which of the packages I am responsible for are involved in a
        specific transition

grep-excuses takes into account DEBFULLNAME, if no packages or maintainer
are given on the command line. Isn't that what you want?

The manpage mentions GREP_EXCUSES_MAINTAINER, but it's not used in the
script
(Actually, it's set to an empty string and not read from env).

Errr... yes, it's used in the script.  It's not read from the
environment, because it's not an environment variable, as
grep-excuses(1) explicitly says.  It *is* read from the configuration
file and used to initially populate $string.

Right. I should read the manpage next time, instead of capturing some
parts of it :)

Anyway... I'm still waiting for Pabs's comment :p

That doesn't appear to work with -w nor with an email address since
update_excuses.html.gz doesn't contain any. It would be nice if I could
specify a command-line option so I could easily look up team packages.

In any case I'd prefer a web page to look at than a command to run.

Hi,

I agree with Paul on this one; a web-page would be nice.  Maybe
integrate it with the QA page[1].

Hi,

The tracker has been doing this for years now.

distro-tracker doesn't have per-maintainer pages
at all and neither does the QA excuses page AFAICT.

The DDPO kind of does, but doesn't list transitions etc.

The DMD kind of does too, but also no transitions etc.

So I suggest reopening this request.

Hi pabs,

But it could and I think it's the right place. Similar to how it does
that for teams:
https://tracker.debian.org/teams/debian-accessibility/

I agree that transitions are missing in that overview.
