Package: release.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Hey,

looking at the libnotify transition, I can see that I'm involved in
quite some packages, but as there are a lot of packages in total, it can
be easy to miss one. I thought it could be nice to have a dd-list (or
similar) of the relevant packaqes, so one could quickly see if he needs
to take action or not. Usually there are transition bugs against
packages when the maintainer needs to do something. But for the cases
where the maintainer has to refrain himself to upload something, having an
idea of who's concerned can be useful.

Another idea would be to send mail to maintainers when transition is set
up in the tracker.

I'm not sure if it's hard or not and if it's really worth the work, but
I was asked to report it more formally than on #debian-release so here
we are :)

Regards,

Hi,

The binary that provides our transition tracker is ben, reassigning.

Hmm, most trackers are (auto) set up months before the transition starts.

At the time, ben didn't even exist (at least not in the archive) ...

The attached script can be used to generate a dd-list from the URL to
the transition tracker.

Kind Regards,

Hi Bas, I have to admit I was surprised to see a reply to my bug submission
from more than 12 years ago. But thanks, I guess?
