A simpler solution sounds good to me, except that change would be
somewhat "permanent" in stating the original maintainer's preference.
I forgot to mention in my original post that the tags can optionally
expire.
So, things like, `tag all my packages as "feel free to nmu" within
the next two weeks` would be trackable.
BTW, setting debian-devel@ as maintainer will result in mail flood.
An alternative should be considered.
