18 As dilfridge pur jer in CC, I guess that some of jer's changes to bugs
19 were not welcomed by maintainers.

21 One recent example of non-maintainer activity in the package list field
22 is bug 613104, where he just removed the entire package list (and then
23 marked the bug WONTFIX).
24 Also very common is that he changes fully qualified package names (which
25 is the correct syntax per [1]) into fully qualified package atoms (which
26 is the legacy syntax). Bug 616260 is one such example.
