Package owners are not automatically notified about bugs reports or
questions. User who are Bug Contacts, BugSubscribers, or Answer Contacts
are notified. Package owners receive notification only when they choose
to be notified by assuming one of the roles mentioned. The package
owner, or the developers for that matter, are not necessarily interested
in these roles. Sometime community members are better suited. Each
project must find its own way of delegating responsibility; Launchpad
should not send users spam because it assumes or enforces
responsibilities with the project.
