How to submit a massive list of overrides?



Hi,

 There's some ammount of orphaned packages which should have their
 maintainer fields set to debian-qa@lists.debian.org, but have something
 else instead.  This means, among other things, bug reports filed
 against these packages are being ignored.  Since the list of packages
 in this state is ridiculously large (~ 140) and since it seems sensible
 to avoid loading the autobuilders with this ammount of (extra) work,
 I'd like to ask you guys what's the preferred format for this?  Should
 I just dump the list of new override lines?  Should I split it by
 override file?  Should I generate one for each distribution?  Should I
 just forget this and kick the maintainers for not doing what the
 documentaion says they should have done?

 TIA,
