Sure I'll do.
I perfectly understand that we are lacking time to maintain this or that
package, especially that on may loose too much time to follow mails on
d-d.

Then I'd propose to have an other pseudo package "support" and a new
mailing list alias for d-u@l.d.o called for example support@d.o which
does not link to d-d@l.d.o and providing support for users.
This new pseudo package "support" can substitute to "general"
automatically by the tool after few messages are asked like:
"I don't really know how to investigate this issue"
"I'm not experienced user"
...
The main goal of all this is to make Debian more user friendly.
