Well, the basic idea is not so stupid, but the implementation is not
really great.
I have something better to propose. But it requires a new (long asked)
feature : the ability to subscribe to a "package" (to get its bug logs,
to get mails sent to <package>@packages.debian.org [1]).
- for each ITP, we need at least 2 developers that will maintain the
package, they both subscribe to the package, one is the official
maintainer, the other is listed in the Uploaders: field.
- ftpmasters only accepts packages that fullfill this requirement (they
check that there's someone listed in Uploaders)
In the long run, we'd really need summary mails to be sent to
<package>@packages.debian.org[1] to let people remember that they are
in charge of the packages and to point them where work is needed.
Cheers,
[1] <package> should really be <sourcepackage> ...
PS: Feel free to CC me since I read debian-devel only once a week.
