Well, IMHO it's fine if this information is not listed on our page...

There will be no submission "From:" if people use the web form.
Additionally, you can antispamify the address in the body of the mail, e.g.
by replacing the @ with a space.

IMHO, yes. I didn't know where to find the cdvendors mbox, nor that there
was an archive at all.
I think it's more likely that someone else picks up the job if they are a
regular debian-www subscriber and see lots of unprocessed vendor requests.
*shrug* But you could also make the submission script output a message
which tells the submitter to contact debian-www@l.d.o if their request is
not processed within a week or two.
Cheers,
Richard
