I'd like to see a general system which can be used to find out how
much informational mail maintainers want to receive.  For example,
this system could then be used by katie as well... or, probably more
interesting, by the testing system to inform interested maintainers
automatically why their packages have not entered testing yet.

Since this should probably be by-package and not by-maintainer, how
about a field in debian/control? (I'm not sure it really belongs
there, but there were some advantages if it were there; e.g. it can
easily be controlled by the maintainer.)  Probably something like
debconf's system (critical, high, medium, low.  For example, a REJECT
message from katie would be critical, an INSTALL message lower) or
something more sophisticated.
