The problem is that some maintainers may be using a ISP that is using
something like ORBS or the DUL, and changing ISPs may not be a real
option.
The work around is to use the maintainer's debian.org address, or
pkgname@packages.debian.org. It would seem polite that the maintainer
set their "Reply-To:" to such an address when conducting a Debian
related conversation, but putting it in policy seems a little strong.
(Of course, if the Debian mailservers started using ORBS or DUL...no,
bad Steve!).
