Of course, part of the proposal is to get the administration right.  The
authoritative maintainer list is to be maintained by (a delegate of) the
Project Secretary.  

Since the topic has been brought up anyway, what about the following
alias: maintainers@debian.org.

Heck no, even make it a package:  maintainers@packages.debian.org could
have a list too :-) (actually makes sense.)  And bugs could be submitted
against it (makes sense too IHMO.)

Cheers,
