Eh. The map knows which packages are installed. And it does leave a
little mark in the ChangeLog to keep track of it reasonably well if
recovering images.

It should be the maintainer, not the author that receives these things.
And the maintainer can not register without an email.

Yes, the only problem I see (if SM is installed) is to figure out what
package we should refer to.
Simply picking the class of the offending method sounds reasonable but
which package does it belong to?
Sure, using DVS makes it easy, but for the others... Hmmm. Perhaps you
could do a dirty trick by looking in the changelog or something... But
then it would have been nice if SM also marked before filing in a
package and not just after.
