[aur-general] flood of package adoption emails

[Johannes Wienke]

Dear all,

yesterday I received about 10 email notifications that my package
pass-git-helper-git was adopted by some random user, differing in each
email. Yet, the web interface shows myself as the maintainer and I never
opened the package for adoption. Does anyone know what is going on here?
I can provide such an email for debugging purposes if necessary.

There's (was?) a bug that caused these wrong mails to be generated,
it has supposedly been fixed though apparently the fix doesn't work either

The bug is that
https://git.archlinux.org/aurweb.git/commit/?id=b702e5c0e7f13103fc764b7e5613f78f3e7acd30
only fixed things for the ssh interface, which, well, in retrospect does
not help for the web notifications.

Now tracked as https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60601 and hopefully fixed
for good.
