Reject specific invalid authors in changelogs

Open simotek opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

This is one to add once the openSUSE stuff is in better shape. Basically a bunch of obs bots use [email protected] in changelogs which is wrong for a number of reasons, such as people not knowing who to contact and because it occasionally generates emails to that list.

Thats not an issue in the upstream rpmlint project. if you want to have suse specific checks implemented, please file a suse bugzilla.

@scarabeusiv asked me to create it here as his aim is to reduce the difference between SUSE's config and upstream in the next release.

Yea I plan to do this when we get to merge the stuff with issue #157 and follow up here.

This actually makes sense to support in a generic way. openSUSE isn't the only one with such a thing.

Fedora has No Body <[email protected]> and Mageia has No Body <[email protected]>. And there's the generic @example.com authors that some use.

Yea it should be trivial to do this tbh.
