Yes, this would be good.

This too, but it requires a more up-to-date list of maintainers than
we currently have available.

Yuk. The correct solution is to have another mail address
(debian-bugs-bot@pixar.com or some such) which is a more traditional

PS: Can people please not CC this thread to either of my personal
addresses ? I expect to be running short of quota by the time I get
back, and having only one copy of everything that was sent to
