I disagree. Private mails (barring mistakes) are more likely to be
effective ways to reach a maintainer that looks busy. My BTS mails
is stored in folders that I will not open when I'm really swamped but
I do always read my private mails.
We can institude to CC debian-email@lists.debian.org on similar private
mails so that they are archived (non-publicly) for other DD to investigate
in case it's needed (see master:/srv/mail-archives/archive/debian-email).
But private mails should count in the ITO evaluation.
