Right now, it's still not a good idea but it should not require too many
changes to make it possible AFAIK:
1/ fixing packages.debian.org to ignore such addresses when extracting
   maintainers addresses (and in those cases forward mails only to the
   package tracker)
2/ fixing the BTS to use foo@packages.debian.org instead of sending a direct
   mail to the maintainer + a copy to the package tracker.

Simon, Rhonda, would it be possible to implement (1) at the same time
when you update packages.debian.org to use the new addresse for the
forward to the package tracker ?

Same question for you Don, but with (2).

Cheers,
