Hmm. Would it be too onerous for you to establish a .qmail? I
think that <maintainer>@debian.org is an invariant we should
maintain, it is easy for users and other people to reach developers
that way (also easy to tell people how to reach developers).
The contents of the ~/.qmail file would simply be
&dwarf@polaris.net
and you can upload it in place using the same mechanism you use to
upload packages.
Are there very many people who do not have a valid .qmail file
on master? <quick check>, Hmm, about 18 real people, out of 278,
which is about 6.475%.
