Yes, that makes sense. It would make even more sense if the actual
maintainer could be involved. Not all maintainers might have the
resources to follow all of the mailinglists, but if they're in a topic
team, then all the important information/bugs/feature requests would get
filtered out for the busy maintainer by his topic team.
Maybe it is also good to have maintainer teams for the more critical
parts of the distribution.
Whatever the outcome of the discussion, having a package that sets up a
mailfilter for these lists or places it in a local news hierarchy or
even makes it available through dwww would be nice.
Generally I think the whole idea of customizer packages is great. It
would be a major added value of debian over any other current
distribution.
