Well, I would invert this; I would expect any members of the kernel team to
subscribe to the bts for the kernel packages, and currently the easiest way
to do that is by subscribing to debian-kernel, so moving the bug traffic to
-maint seems like it's just an obstacle for the maintainers to get bug
traffic they should (and want to) receive.
If nothing else, I think moving the bug traffic to a separate list is going
to give us a "split-brain" effect, since it's not uncommon for bugs to
warrant group discussion, and the group it should be discussed with is this
one, AFAIK.
