Indeed.  Sadly I've had a terribly hectic July and it's still not over.  We
shall have to have a discussion next week regarding how to best handle this

when a package has been built and pushed.  Ideally the bug gets updated,
but that's not always the case.

I'm thinking the person who has taken responsibility for the issue in
question should also send the mail.  This is up for discussion of course.
