True in practice we have bundles maintained by several people, but the main purpose of this field is to list someone the user can contact about the bundle. If there are two maintainers, listing both will just “confuse” the user as to who he should write, and there is only a 50% chance he will actually write the one responsible for the thing he writes about.</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Comments on this one?
