No the list is not subscribed. You're welcome to do it however if you want
it.

We clearly have two different work patterns. I'm not interested in all
perl modules thus I'm not subscribed to the pkg-perl-maintainers list. I
tend to handle bugs when I prepare a new upstream version of the software
and thus I'm mainly using my qa.debian.org/developer.php webpage.

You're more involved in the perl team and thus want everything to come to
you directly through the maintainers list.
