Package: libnotify-bin
Version: 0.7.7-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

plesae add informations about upstream in the expectable places.

Looking at the debian tracker there is no direct information. The only hint is
that the "maintainer" are the "Debian GNOME Maintainers".

Concrete:
 - add a link to the upstream source (not only to debians one)
   https://git.gnome.org/browse/libnotify/
 - add a link to the upstream project page
   (couldn't find a package specific page on gnome.org yet)
 - a linkt to the gnome bugtracker would be nice, too
 - add this infos to the debian tracker page AND somewhere in  the source-docu
(e.g. README.debian, CONTRIBUTE.debian, AUTHERS, manpage, ...)

Of course I know and aggree that reports should be addressed first to the own
distro. But some reporters are more then just "users" and know (or have their
own opinion) what belongs to the distro-maintainer and what to upstream. Please
make it possible to let the reporter decide that by her-/himself.
