Debian policy states this:

===== Quote from http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-maintainer =====
The maintainer must be specified in the Maintainer control field with their correct name and a working email address. The email address given in the Maintainer control field must accept mail from those role accounts in Debian used to send automated mails regarding the package. This includes non-spam mail from the bug-tracking system, all mail from the Debian archive maintenance software, and other role accounts or automated processes that are commonly agreed on by the project.[7] If one person or team maintains several packages, they should use the same form of their name and email address in the Maintainer fields of those packages.

The format of the Maintainer control field is described in Maintainer, Section 5.6.2.

If the maintainer of the package is a team of people with a shared email address, the Uploaders control field must be present and must contain at least one human with their personal email address. See Uploaders, Section 5.6.3 for the syntax of that field.

===== End quote =====

So either the Maintainer needs to be a person or we can put in a group as Maintainer, along with (at least one) individual Uploaders.

We already have "Debian Kolab Maintainers <pkg-kolab-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>", how about we use this address for maintainer?

If I add at least the current Maintainer to the Uploaders field, everybody who is involved with a package can continue working with it without any issues, if they need to.

Cheers,

Paul
