Well, this would be useful. If the QA people would mail messages with
small introduction, like:

Hello, I am <insert name>, Debian developer, and member of Debian
Quality Assurance (QA) Group. We have noticed some errors in your
package(s) <insert list>, version <insert exact version>, and we'd
like you to fix them, thus closing bug report(s) <insert numbers>.
What you should do is <insert description of fixes>
If you aren't capable of correcting these errors right now, just
reply saying that you can't do it, and someone will step in and
do it for you. Since these are bugs of <insert priority> priority,
you must know that we will be forced to upload if you don't do
anything within <insert number> days.
Of course, developer who actually makes the upload for you, will
notify you of it by submitting a report to the bug tracking system,
describing his changes and supplying a diff/patch. Once you release
your new revision including his patches, you should close his bug
report in the bug tracking system.
Thank you.

How about it?
