Description
I think this is a bug, but you might classify it as a feature request.
In 00whois.xml
there are two types of user: <type>author</type>
and <type>list</type>
. It looks like you're just importing everything in 00whois as an author, which means that mailing lists can turn up in search results:
I suspect that when I type "module::list", you're splitting into the individual words and those then match against the asciiname
for PGPML
, which is The PGP Module Mailing List.
And if you select a mailing list in search results, it is presented as if it's an author, but if you look in 00whois you'll also see:
<has_cpandir>0</has_cpandir>
So mailing lists, unsurprisingly, can't release things.
I think mailing lists should be excluded.
