it may cause some good packages not to be uploaded by people who are
hesitant to agree to that.
One solution could be to have a Maintainer field contain a name, but no
email address? So I could do:
Maintainer: Ketil Malde -- send email to me
or
Maintainer: Ketil Malde -- don't send email, Google me if you are
-- human and it's that important
or even
Maintainer: Ketil Malde <ketil at malde dot org> -- email me if you are human
Or of course
Maintainer: -- empty field means unmaintained, caveat emptor!
Generalizing from my sample of one, I think most people would stick with
the first option, but at least this policy would leave things open for
those preferring alternatives.
