Unfortunately, something like @packages.debian.org doesn't map very well to
how our development team is organized. Of course,
ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com will reach the right people, but it also has
too much traffic to be very reliable for this sort of thing.
As I've said before, I'm happy to act as a point of contact personally, and
pass on any communications from Debian developers to the appropriate team or
individual within Ubuntu, wherever there is a doubt about who to contact.
