This is not such a good idea.  Maintainers are generally not
responsible for checking build status and logs; the port maintainer
(whoever is responsible for making the binary NMU) should do that andn
file an RC bug.

Indeed, there are many packages that miss getting into testing because
of some problem uploading or building one port or another, and
maintainers in general seem to be totally unaware of these.  I think
the people who take responsibility for uploading the binary NMUs for
various ports need to also take the responsibility for filing bugs
when things are failing.
