[Pkg-samba-maint] personalized and administrative bugzilla accounts

Hi,

I noticed a lot of activity going on in bugzilla (good!) but even actively by
the administrative or "distributive" bugzilla account of the debian package
maintainers. I briefly discussed this with Lars and we both would prefer to get
bugs and comments from personalized bugzilla accounts, I'm sure everyone has
one already, no? Do you see any reason why this is not possible?

Or asking the other way round: is it ever required that
pkg-samba-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org needs to log in to bugzilla? If not we
might just "disable" that account, so that it will still serve as a
distribution account, even bugs can be assigned to it but it cannot be used
actively. We did the same with all the QA mail addresses in bugzilla for
example.

If you want to point out that you are from the Debian packaging team you can
also add that info into your realname field like
"Foo Bar (Debian pkg Team) <foo.bar at debian.org>"

Let me know what you think about this :-)

Cheers
Björn
