Ross> A field in the .cabal file is just as available to bots as Ross> a field on the package page. Yes, absolutly. There are at least one easy solution for this problem : having a server-side user model that is related to packages, or to packages versions, indicating wich user is the maintainer of which package. User would be able to provide its mail address, as well as some preferencies. I think it is planned on hackage 2.0 already. A .cabal based solution would need hackage to use asymetric encryption and to provide a public key that maintainer would use to encode its email address. But I'm not sure its worth the trouble. -- Paul
