the hardest complication would be coming up with a policy for reasonable
use...i.e. defining the rules under which the privilege is available.

why is that? we already have debian developers whose primary email
address is @debian.org, and (IIRC) other developers who routinely use
smtp over ssh to debian servers to send their mail.

perhaps so. i think it would probably be a good idea for debian to
provide the service, but i'm not going to insist on it.
i don't see any problem with debian providing the service for debian
developers - at least to enable them to post to debian lists no matter
where they are dialed in to, if not as a general purpose service.
log files are easily summarised, so it would be possible to send a
"cease and desist" message to anyone who abused the privilege (i.e. by
sending hundreds of megabytes of mail per day or mail-bombed someone
through the uucp service)
