[Pkg-mythtv-maintainers] bugs.debian.org forwarding the pkg-mythtv-maintainers list

Hi all,

It seems that the IVTV driver packages have been accepted and entered
Debian. Excellent news!

I also see that I have my first bug
report :-( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=360539 "Must
go to contrib: requires non-free (and non-distributable) firmware"

The logs say it was forwarded to the list (it's registered as the
maintainer address) but I never received it via the list and it isn't in
the archives. Does the BTS need to be whitelisted or similar?

On the subject of the bug report, I know there is some controversy about
firmware in main etc but I haven't really been following so I don't know
if the project has reached a consensus about what is to be done. Does
anyone know or have any pointers? I don't know that the decision is as
clear cut as the bug suggests and I don't want move stuff around
unnecessarily.

(FWIW I don't have an opinion myself on where firmware requiring
packages should go, I'll follow the project's policies/guidelines).

Ian.
