Hello,

I am not sure this is the right way.

* It is already possible to avoid personal e-mail adresses as maintainer
  using team+foo@tracker.debian.org

* Scalability: If this was used for many packages the mailing would just
  be too noisy. Take a look at e.g. debian-qa-packages@ldo, which is
  imho unreadable.
