If the user is too lazy to follow the maintainer link and then the link to his email, then he shouldnt be motivated enough to comment either.
Are we trying to package software or testing how motivated our users are? Why make things harder *intentionally*?
If there is need for further discussion, the script is horribly outdated and unmaintained, should be done, like its done now, on the mailing list or the bbs.
How's that for "KISS" ?
Awful? As a small-time maintainer I love that it's easy to tell me when my packages have problems. Reporting a problem is not this bizarre test of motivation: "he is not motivated enough so I don't want his comments", it's just everyday usage! And yes, deleting comments is useful because after the problem is fixed it'just takes space. A *very* simple bug tracker may do, too. -- ("\''/").__..-''"`-. . Roberto Alsina `9_ 9 ) `-.
