The bot would, of course, be implemented in Haskell. Anybody who still worries about bugs, is free to implement a better one in Agda. :-)
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 <ketil@malde.org> -- 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. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
