QUESTION: It would be cleaner if DAK, the BTS, and all relevant services, |
| 183 |
|
could stop sending mails to the Maintainer field, and would instead always |
| 184 |
|
send the mail to the new infrastructure. That way we wouldn't need to |
| 185 |
|
change the Maintainer field and there would be no transition period. |
| 186 |
|
|
| 187 |
|
The new infrastructure would then be configured with initial subscriptions |
| 188 |
|
for emails listed in Maintainer fields (except for mailing lists, since |
| 189 |
|
the infrastructure aims to replace them). |
