Bug#739070: qa.debian.org: [new PTS] Links to developer page not working if email contains the symbol +
Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
This applies to the new PTS.
My email address contains a plus "+", like this: emilien+debian@klein.st
The Maintainer link to a maintainer's QA page can be invalid:
Example on http://pts.debian.net/pkg/nautilus-image-manipulator the link is:
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=emilien+debian@klein.st
The correct link should be:
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=emilien%2Bdebian@klein.st
Reason: the + symbol is not escape/urlencoded, the browser treats it as a space. I suppose the fix is to urlencode any link that could contain an email address.
I marked this bug as important following the classification "a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.". It obviously works for almost everybody, but not at all for me ;)
Note: I had reported a similar issue for the mentors page: 622503
