so <package>@packages.debian.org forwards to all addresses listed in
Maintainer: and Uploaders: of the package in question, while
<package>@packages.qa.debian.org forwards to all addresses that are
subscribed in the PTS and to <package>@packages.debian.org?
If that's the case, then the obvious fix would be to have
<package>@packages.debian.org not forward to
<package>@packages.debian.org and to have the PTS forbid forwardings
to <package>@packages.debian.org.
That way, it would be possible to use <package>@packages.debian.org in
Maintainer:. I don't see anything wrong about this, but maybe I am
missing something.
In the mean time, I'll request an alioth project.
