Hi Prot,
I wanted to suggest adding the mailing list addresses to your packages,
by replacing your personal address in the maintainer field with the
sourcehut address. E.g. like how I do here for my package[0]. A number
of recent Sourcehut packages added to ELPA have followed this
recommendation, and I think it is useful to have the address listed in a
*Help* buffer when querying information about it using C-h P.
Of course if you don't want to, this is fine, but as you are currently
probably the most popular Emacs package developer on Sourcehut, I think
it would be good to set an example.
(I also mention this because I had been working on extensions to
package.el[1] that would make it easier to contribute patches upstream,
and this would also rely on a sensible "Maintainer" header. Of course
your private address would work just as well, but I believe that using
the public mailing lists would be preferable?)

Good idea! I will implement the changes later in the day.
All the best,

Great, glad to hear this!

I made the requisite edits to the following:
- cursory
- denote
- fontaine
- lin
- logos
- modus-themes
- pulsar
- tmr
Though the changes will trickle down over time, as I publish new
releases. Cursory, fontaine, pulsar, and tmr will get one soon (let's
say 7-10 days from now). The rest will have to wait a few more weeks.
What do you think?

Looked at a few random samples and it looks good.

Don't think that this should be an issue, it is nothing urgent to begin
with.

Looks good, the only thing is that while the "Mailing-List" header is
nothing official (in the sense that ELPA or package.el handle it), there
is no reason not to keep it there if you want an easy link to the
mailing list archive, say when someone wants to check if something has
already been discussed before.
And who knows, maybe package.el will one day have support for it?

Very well! I added the Mailing-List back in.
