I don't think it matters, because a BLP problem to the wrong queue
rapidly ends up in the right one :-)

It's more a public relations problem for Wikipedia: people have NO
IDEA what to do about a bad article about themselves. They see this
big scary 900lb gorilla of a site they don't understand and they don't
know what to do.

If we have structures in place to cope with the flood of mail that
will definitely result ... we should put up a Wikimedia blog post and
ping our favourite press contacts to run stories.
