Hi, Would it make sense to add a MailingList field in the DESCRIPTION file so that we can indicate where the package can be discussed.
You can add whatever fields you like, and many authors do.
More and more packages have dedicated mailing lists (mostly thanks to r[-]?forge ).
But those have a URL on R-forge, and surely giving that is more useful (and URL: is a documented field).
