maintainers.xml contains 2 different ways to refer to maintainer. That is inconsistent. "maintainer/email" is just a email "upstream/bugs-to" is URL What if developer prefer XMPP Uri as his main contact address? I propose to rename "email" xml node into "contact-url" node in https://gitweb.gentoo.org/data/dtd.git/tree/metadata.dtd.
upstream != maintainer email is supposed to map to a bugs.g.o account.
How this is supposed to work for project email ? look to project dotnet: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Dotnet it says: Email: dotnet@gentoo.org The mainfest.xml contain fragment <maintainer type="project"> <email>dotnet@gentoo.org</email> <description>Gentoo Dotnet Project</description> </maintainer> There is no 'dotnet' mailing list - https://archives.gentoo.org/lists i followed advice from https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/mailing-lists/instructions.html "mailto:listname+subscribe@lists.gentoo.org, replace listname with the actual name of the list that you want to subscribe to." Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: dotnet+subscribe@lists.gentoo.org Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain lists.gentoo.org by lists.gentoo.org. [208.92.234.80]. The error that the other server returned was: 550 5.1.1 <dotnet+subscribe@lists.gentoo.org>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
