I was wondering about that since f2fs-tools, btrfs-progs are maintained by:

    Filesystems Group <filesystems-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>

Granted, that's lists.alioth.debian.org, as opposed to
lists.debian.org, but I'm curious why it's considered bad to have a
list as a maintainer.  Is this stated in some policy document?
