Having mandatory debian/watch files in each an every package would at least be a opportunity to detect MIA maintainers. But only if two premises are met: 1) upstream has to be debian/watch-able and 2) upstream has to release a new version now and then. These points are the problems that stand in the way of a regulation that would demand debian/watch files.
