I get more and more requests to find the email address for a certain package by some other packager. So I would like to make the email address visible/clickable in the web interface. It will not be accessable by an anonymous user, you will need an account to get them.

Does anyone have a problem with this ?

The alternative solution would be to create a text input field in the web interface to enter some notice which will send to the packager, without to make his email address visible. But I think we are all in a good community and do not need to hide our email addresses :)

How about using the package field of RPM to publish the packagers contact information? (I don't have any objections to publishing the email addresses on the web as well.) Regards Christoph

That's what I would prefer in an Enduser interface for the repositories of the build service. Users (not necessarily packagers) should be able to comment on packages and projects.

I believe that users should be able to contact those who provide them with software.
