Hello list,
When I run the command `apt show profanity` I can see that it is
maintained by "Debian XMPP Maintainers". I'm interested in
what other packages this maintainer/group maintains but don't understand how to
get hold of it.
Is it possible to search in the maintainer field with apt? If not, can I lookup this
information somewhere else?

First, I looked at /var/lib/dpkg/status -- and that's fine, but it only

shows the packages that I have installed. I'm guessing you want to search
for uninstalled packages as well.
So, next I looked in /var/lib/apt/lists/ and picked one of the several
lists there. The format is easy enough to parse. You can even do it
with an awk one-liner.
unicorn:~$ awk '/^Package:/{p=$2} /^Maintainer: Debian XMPP/{print p}' /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_bullseye_main_binary-amd64_Packages

...look up any package the maintainers deal with (profanity in this case)
at https://packages.debian.org
Select one of the repos (buster, jessie, etc. it doesn't matter)
On the page you're taken to on the right hand side of the screen is a
column "Links for {package name}". Part way down is a section entitled
'Maintainers'. In that section, click the link to 'QA Page' and you'll
be taken to the page with the info you're interested in.

Yes. "aptitude" can do that:

I'm not sure about apt but you can check the tracker page for
that package. It will give you the name of the maintainer and clicking
on the 'DMD' link will take you to their dashboard. In the dashboard you
can see all the packages that person is involved with.
Cheers,

The Debian QA site can provide you with a list.

For Debian XMPP Maintainers:
<https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-xmpp-devel%40lists.alioth.debian.org>
You can tweak the options below the big table to change filtering and
presentation to suit.
